The gas in your body after surgery



Recommended Posts

I feel like that is what is causing most (but not all) of my pain and it is awful!

I actually feel like there is MORE of it in there!!! I know I have to walk, and I do that a little. I am having a hard time with that because of my RA and the chest pain.

Is there anything else you have tried that has worked?

Anything??

DO not drink or eat while sitting. I got a little routine going. At first, I needed a timer. I did a sip every ten minutes, and then sip-walk-burp. I paced in my apartment while clutching a pillow to my abdomen. Soon enough, the air began to move. Walking is the only thing that helped me. Hot Water beating down my back helped somewhat.

      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.
