Any advice to pass lots of gas



Recommended Posts

I have horrible gas pains that will not pass. Tried everything and nothing.

Walk, walk, walk. Sounds simple, but it's honestly the very best thing you can do.

Me too. Walking as often as possible plus gas x. I've also found that if I change positions I can find a position that helps expel the gas. So sorry- today is the first day I have not been doubled over with gas pain.

Walk, walk, walk, and Lay on your left side. If that doesn't work, lean over something like the bed. For me, laying on my left side helped so much, like magic. Hubby was highly entertained and was sure to sleep up wind. Mine continued for 3 to 4 days, in spurts.

Careful with gum, I was chewing bubble gum and blowing bubbles and it made me sick when I'd suck the air back in.

      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.
