It takes around 5 days to a week, so give it a little more time.

It should start going away. I found that a heating pad helped, that and walking as much as possible, Even a walk from one end of your house to the other will help. I promise, it gets better.

It went on for about a week for me. And don't always assume it's only gas, if you catch my drift!

Walking is the cure, but it will take time. My worst day was my first day home from the hospital, Day 3. You will start to feel better! Hang in there!

I had my surgery on Dec 30th also. Have been having same problems with gas issue. Seems like I'm better today than the first couple of days after surgery. I have on my grocery list to purchase Gas X. The doctor said he could help. I'm glad to here most people are saying in a week or so it gets better. I have been walking which I can feel that helps.

      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.
