I just had mine on Tuesday and my tummy is making the same sounds. I have found that trying to walk helps. Also I've used the infant gas drops and that helps too!

I also am experiencing a lot of gas. I don't know if you have the same thing, but I also get like a pain in the middle of my chest for a quick second and then it goes away. It hurts

The heating pad has helped me with gas. I just laid on it on my back

Gas is normal...Walking was the best way for me to get rid of it. I used Gas-X strips, but those didn't help as much as the walking.

Just keep walking and it will come out. I'm 3 weeks out and even though I'm eating refried Beans once a day now, the gas is not even close to how it was the first week or two.

Gas x strips and walking! I made my hubby stop at cvs on the way home from hospital to get those while he was getting my pain meds.

Took them religiously for about a week. I also forced my fsmily to deal with me going with to the store. .even tho I walked slow as a turtle. Wiped me out for sure...but I did it. We also live in a large apt building and our place is one of the farthest away from the elevator..so I had a lot of walking just to go anywhere.

      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.
