Gas pains! Omg the first 48 hrs were the worst. If anyone out there is in the hospital tonight going through this, the best thing you can do to get rid of the gas is to walk. The first wind is divine relief, lol.

The gas pain really had me second guessing my decision, but almost 72 hours post-op, I can say it ain't so bad. I don't feel hungry. In fact, I couldn't finish a Jello cup in half an hour.

Hey all i was the 13th of may and all done...just starting to feel human...how did every ones ops go..what you eating.....how do you feel.

I was band to bypass. There was heaps of scaring and I was lucky my surgeon was good enough to go ahead.

It took eight hours..went in to theatre at 7.30 am and was shocked when I woke up at 4 pm in recovery.. Doctor was complaining I broke his back...bless him poor thing.

Yep I'm hearing you...standing and walking does ease the pain. Sometimes you just got to find the courage to get your bum outa that bed tho..

What type of Protein are ypu guys getting in? Like if yoyr do a shake whats in it? I have been sippinh on water' date=' apple juice and a tiny bit of Protein clear liquid which has like 8 g per 2 ounces.. im a little afraid to add stuff..[/quote']

I'm mixing 2 scoops of unjury Protein powder (unflavored) with 16 oz of crystal light and sipping on that throughout the day. I also have SF Jello with added protein. It is not easy to take all of that in in one day. I'm only 3 days post op so I'm too afraid to test the limits of my pouch. Not hungry at all though.

Omg, I still have gas pains. It's terrible. I am out and about with the hubby today. In gonna walk a little in the mall. Sounds crazy but need this gas gone!! I also used a heating pad on my back/stomach which helps with the gas pains. Good luck everyone.

Agreed. The gas is the worst. Mine is usually in my lower back. How long does it take to get rid of the gas?

      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.
