Recommended Posts

All the time. If it's not coming up one way it's going out the other. I'm only 3 weeks post but it's almost constant.

I've been told it'll go away in time. I've also been told to try had gas x and it might help.

Sorry I couldn't be more of assistance

Yes, unfortunately, it is true.

intestinal flora can be greatly affected by surgery and/or diet changes... eat lots of yogurt, or take Probiotics. you may want to consider a good digestive enzyme supplement too.

I'm just about 7 months out as well and it is a very common thing.

At this point, I'll happily deal with the gas to have all of the other wonderful benefits. Yes, I'd love to have it go away at some point, but not really sure how it would.

My doctor told me to take a Gas-X pill. There is also a chewable and a dissolvable strip you can put on your tongue. It is best to take them before meals, but I've only had to take the pill in the morning, the chewable in the late afternoon and then just carry the dissolvable strips in my purse, just in case. I just burp. No toots. Just burps. I'll take it. My hubby says I burp a lot in my sleep too. So sexy, right?!?! Lol!

Look for Simethacone. That is the active ingredient in gas products..

I am only 6 weeks post surg, but my husband is over 2 yrs and the gas is still awful from him! lol. There are things he eats that make it worse, and he just doesn't care. <rolling my eyes> So it might not get "better" but you might learn to be able to control it better.

      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.
