I'm having some gas pain, but no, um, release of said gas, other than the occasional burp. I've been walking a lot, any other tips on getting rid of the pain?

Gas ex? I'm planning on having my mom sneak it into hospital if necessary! I've read it helps.

I hope it works because I am miserable right now. I just sent my mum out gor some.

Try to press a pillow to your stomach and if you can lean over the side of your bed with your tush in the air :-) it helped me!!

All that gas I had finally made my body give in and a BM was achieved. I feel so much better now. Just a little gas left.

Mylecon drops that are used for babies works wonders!! I had my surgery on 4/30 and I'm still getting intense gas pains. When I take the Mylecon it goes away for a few hours :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
