Four Days Post-Op...

[ava32 48]

I'm for days post-op and I'm still experiencing gas pain. I feel pressure just underneath my breast/top of my torso. It makes it difficult to find a comfortable position to sit/sleep. I've already reached out to my WLS community on Instagram. They recommend: walking, herbal tea, Gas X strips and using a heating pad.

I decided to post on this platform to gain anymore suggestions. I know this is part of the process but if there are any methods to alleviate gas pain I would like to try it out. The pain isn't severe enough to call my surgeon. It is most just nagging.

That can go on for a week with some bursts for a few days after that(my experience). Force your self to walk. I know it's uncomfortable and you're tired but frequent walking really gets it moving and out.do you have a prescribed PPI to take like omprezole. If not you may want to ask for it. Feel better

I feel bad for you. I think i was lucky as far as the gas was concerned. I remembered reading about the pain so when i was in the hospital i walked literally my ass off...lol. But i get that pain after i drink maybe 2,3 sips. I cant get my Protein shakes in. They give me gas. And ive still havent had a b movement. Thats my problem

Okay so this sounds normal. Walking is the major key to get through this. I will continue to push myself more. Thanks! [emoji4]

I ran laps around my nurses while in the hospital. They couldn't keep up with me. Lol. So far premier Protein Shakes make me extremely nauseous. I mix unflavored whey Protein with zero calorie Powerade. And no bm on my end either.

I'll tell you what's been working for my gas after my bypass surgery in May I have been using some baby has drops and it helps.

Wow. Really? Never heard of those. Where did you buy them?

[kyboo1972 90]

You can buy the baby gas drops at any Wal-Mart or drug store. I had my surgery on Tuesday. Other than the soreness and this gas that creeps up from time to time to hide in my shoulders I'm good. I feel so bloated after having 2 sips of anything....hopefully that feeling goes away...and no bm here either...I think that's a lot of my bloating :/
