It will be better! As hard as it may be try to get up and walk a little, it will help with the gas! I couldn't keep the Protein down in the hosp the Isopure was awful and it came right back up. I did ok with broth. (Sleeved on 8/15) Hang in there. Wishing you the best!

I've been researching ways to ease the gas pain after surgery. I don't know first hand if these work or not but I figured it was at least worth mentioning. 1. Ambulation: any movement helps so even when you're not walking, rock back and forth or side to side. 2. mylicon 3. pain meds (obviously these don't help that much, lol) 4. warm drinks, see if they will heat up your Protein and Water 5.a heating pad. 6. increase fluids but that's not very easier after wls, lol. 7. reposition: lay on left side, or on your knees, head down and bottom up (again, another one I'm not sure will be to easy after wls) I hope one of these will help you. Oh, and my sister is a nurse and she said to ask for Benedryl if the nausea medications don't help. Good luck to you!

      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.
