It gets better. The more you walk, the more the gas goes away. Incisions hurt too, especially when getting up from chair or bed. I started holding my belly, so it wouldn't feel like my guts were going to fall out! Most of that went away in 4-5 days.

Thanks everyone!!! On my way home right now. Sitting at the airport and it's been a bit challenging. I feel hazy I think from being hungry. Even though I'm not hungry per say. But feel weak and definitely very very gassy still. Can't wait to sleep on my own bed tonight. Actually, I can't wait for a month to pass by.

Gas pains were the worst part for me. I walked a marathon in those hospital hallways and it was gone within a couple days. A heating pad works wonders at that stage!

Where exactly did you feel the gas pain? Mine was in my right arm after my gallbladder removal.

      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.
