@@TamaraRae Yes - you can take Gas X but please be aware that it may not help. The gas is more likely to be in your abdominal cavity from the surgery and not intestinal gas. The best thing for gas pain is to move - walk, rock back and forth when sitting, etc. Hang in there!

@ Call your surgeon to be sure it's nothing serious. It sounds like it could be gas as well - walk and rock back and forth and see if it improves but please - anytime there's an unknown pain - call your surgeon's office to describe it.

@ did you have a hernia repair as well? I had surgery on Monday and had terrible chest pain,,,,it finally went away yesterday. I think it was caused by the hernia repair.

I had the same problem. I found that if you get down on the floor on your hands and knees and then lower onto your elbows, this helped work the gas out. Your bottom will be a little higher than your chest. Looks and sounds odd but really did work for me!

      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.
