When did the gas pain go away? Everthing i swallow my stomach acts as if its throwing up bubbles. Kinda like a culligan Water machine when you put a new tank on!

Walking helps a lot (both for surgical gas and intestinal gas). I felt bloated all the time at first...like I was going to explode. I took GasX strips 1-2x day until day 11 when suddenly there was no more gas. I'm feeling bloated again now that I've started puréed foods, but not bad enough to take anything for it. Again, the old backup of walking helps a lot.

Just a little update. I am 2 & 1/2 months out and down 40lbs. Feeling great, just trying to be patient and enjoy the journey. I've worked and will continue to work very hard for my loss. I work out everyday and I eat very clean. The only thing that has made this possible is not having the hunger pains and my restriction. I don't regret it for a second. Just wish I did it sooner.

Just wanted to say that this has been so helpful. I know that everyone's recovery will be a little different, but as someone very early in this process, I found this information quite reassuring. Best of luck to you!

      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.
