You can try Gas-X but I've mostly heard that walking is the best way to break up the gas. Feel better!

I am having the same problem. Seen I dr yesterday for post op appointment he told me to make sure I'm sitting straight up when drinking. I've been sitting in a recliner drinking Water. So now I sit up while sitting. Take smaller sips and I've started walking. I hate walking but I've really seen a difference in the gas pain since I started. Me and my husband can walk a mile now. I also take dulcogas. It's chewable gas tablets. Hope it gets better for you.

I had the same thing for a week post op. I used gas ex strips, they dissolve on your tongue. I had to sleep sitting up on the couch bc it was worse to try to lay flat. Walk walk walk. Heating pad. It just has to reason and pass through. Nothing really "got rid" of the pain though. I can promise you though that it will go away and you'll be soooo happy once it does.

Gas drops, like you'd give a baby, helped me. But more than anything was walking. It really is the best thing you can do for many reason.

      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.
