Has anyone suffered painful excess gas and bloating?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am from Australia and had a sleeve done in 2011. I then had revision surgery in June and had the SADI or I am guessing the “mini bypass” it’s the loop but with only one join if that makes sense? Anyhow, it is very new here and I was only the 3rd patient my surgeon had performed this particular surgery on. I have healed well and lost weight but I am struggling with constant bloating, excessive gas and abdominal pain. Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried somac plus degas medications, ibs medication etc but it just keeps reoccurring. Help, I have just started dating again and this is going to be an issue so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks 🙏

Ginger and mint herbal teas really help with gas. So does the spice Cumin. Probably not a real answer...but they can't hurt?

Is it possibly something in your diet? I know when I eat too many carbs I get gassy, I have to limit my Protein Bars for this reason.

Yes so gassy! And it happens to me if I’m too lenient on the carbs. Have you tried charcoal pills? Charcoal absorbs gas, they work. I use them.

      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.
