Recommended Posts

So this is my 3rd day sleeved, no pain but the gas is unbarable. I can't take a sip of Water or a little spoon of applesauce without having the pressure of the burps. Is there anyone that has experienced that? What can I do. I walk around my house all day but I'm mostly tired so I lay on my back in bed. But the burps/gas is horrible ???? HELP?!

If your laying in bed and unable to walk around as much as you should...bring your knees up to your chest....you might let out some air from other ends..but it might work....I haven't had my surgery yet..but that is just what someone told me to do... :rolleyes:

I burped nonstop for weeks! Try some gas x or maalox liquid that's an antacid and anti gas.

If you can put your butt up in the air or pump your legs in and out like we do with babies.

Honestly I barely let out any of the air out of my backside...it was all burps.

I drank a lot of tea and it seemed to help.

walking helps alleviate some of that...but if it is a constant problem, talk with your doctor of options for relief...

gas problems are common in the beginning....good luck and feel better

Lay on your left side, that is supposed to really help with gas (helps things flow in the right direction! :) ). Also, i haven't had surgery yet but I have read from many other people that the gas-x melt in your mouth strips really work as well. Good luck!

I just had surgery yesterday, but I found the pain went away after sleeping on my left side for a couple of hours. It's still early though so it may come back. I have also decreased the size of my "sips".

I was really nervous but it's worth it, a lot of struggle but I was up after my surgery, thank god I have no complications just the burping which is normal but annoying, don't second guess yourself! Good luck and my prayers and love is with you! [=

Start my preop diet 11/2 and surgery 11/12. I'm getting so nervous. I'm glad to read I'm not the only one. Also sounds like overall the pain is not too bad (except gas). Can't wait for the big change.

      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.
