I am 5 Days post op and I have the WORST gas in my chest coming up to my throat. Everything I try to drink comes back up or just sits in my esophagus like a lump and periodically seeps back up. The only thing I've been able to tolerate is Jello and ice pops. I've tried several home remedies to help release the gas but it's not getting me far. HELP ????

I had horrible gas days 2-5 post op. I used maximum strength Gas X strips & it helped sooo much! Lots and lots of walking to move the gas too. But the Gas X definitely made it easier to get through.

Walking and Laying on your side helps a lot. My mom had the surgery, so did my dad, and then so did I. Moms a nurse and if it weren't for her tip to lay on my side... Life would have sucked. It helps release gas pain. Hope this little tip helps someone! (:

      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.
