MammaMac 41 Posted April 30, 2014 I'm a week postop and I can't take a sip of Water without my stomach rumbling and sending painful burps up through my chest. Does this go away soon? It's the worst in the morning. I have to sit down two or three times while getting ready to leave just to breath my way through it. -MM 1 Kelly Gonzalez reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Gonzalez 52 Posted April 30, 2014 Gas X will help,and it does go away, think it went away for me after about 2 weeks. 2 ProudGrammy and MammaMac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen:) 40 Posted April 30, 2014 I had gas so bad! I posted a couple of times about it on here...every sip or bite made me miserable and I'd have to get up and walk. I used gasX, Maalox, Prilosec and beano and STILL had gas. Walking helped more than anything tho it's annoying to get up and walk during a meal. I am happy to report that it has gotten so much better this week (my 4th week). Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mollz007 60 Posted May 1, 2014 I had really bad gas as well the first week. Walking was really the only way it felt better, I took prilosec as well though. I think it got better by week 2. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MammaMac 41 Posted May 6, 2014 Well it FINALLY subsided!! Saturday (10 days postop) I was determined to get my 64oz in (I hadn't up to that point) so I walked and drank and cleaned and walked and drank and cleaned and walked and drank my way to almost 100oz! I was so proud and happy :-) The next day, I realized tag painful gas whenever I drank anything was gone. I feel like a brand new person. I was honestly having so many regrets thinking that was going to be my life. Sunday & today I got all of my Protein Shakes in and tonight I made homemade potato & broccoli Soup and ate probably about 4oz. My tummy was rumbling but I just tried to go slow and not overdo it. My energy feels like its back to normal too :-) So happy! -MM 1 ForkAndMindy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beeteroo 166 Posted May 6, 2014 I've had the same problem! I was just thinking tonight I was going to have to call my doc tomorrow for a refill on the pain meds it's been so bad! It got better when I started puréed foods but it's back with a vengeance tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
