I'm doing it all. It's so frustrating. Thank you for the reply.

Hi daisygirl10. .. when I had post surgery gas pain I had my husband pat firmly and quickly all over my back (like burping a baby but all over) it really helped move it. The pain was in my shoulder and under my ribs

OMG, was he brave! If my husband even looked like he was going to touch me, I gave him "the look" and he retreated!
VERY! But by day 3 and the pain not moving I was begging for him to do something... my parents are both nurses and they suggested it... not saying it was comfortable but the pain was worth the relief ????

Heating pad helps for gas pain

I had my revision from band to bypass on May 13th, having a tough recovery as I had complications but I trust it does get better. Hang in there

I had my surgery one week ago today, was discharged Friday and back in the ER on Sunday, for 9 hours for dehydration. It has not been a good week. I'm regretting this. I hope better days are ahead.

Oh, I do hope you'll begin to feel better. My Dr put a real fear in me about dehydration. He asked me to keep a log showing I was sipping Water that first day - 1 oz every 15 minutes I was awake, 2 oz days 3 and 4. It was difficult, both to remember to record it and to get that much in, but it made the first few days better, I'm sure.

I hope you're on the mend now and feeling better. This is major surgery and we can't expect it to be flawless, even when we follow orders.

Feel 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.
