The gas will, for the most part, ease up as your new pouch heals, but walking is the best thing you can do. Walk as much as you can make yourself, and then walk a little more.

Hi All! 3 days post op and feeling good. Gas is moving out, Vitamins are moving in, and weight will soon be moving off! Can't wait. Major soreness, but no actual pain. Very blessed. Now just trying to "learn" a routine that's best for me for meds, Vitamins, and food/fluid. Congrats to all before me and after and I wish you the best of luck!!!

i left yesterday. the first thing i did was take some gas x strips and a heat pad and i haven't stopped farting. I feel so much better. I'm only needing the lortab about every 10 hours today. so that's good. So far the heating pad and my gas x strips are my best friend. good luck to you all just getting here. and thanks everyone for the well wishes.

      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.
