Did anyone find that gas x helped with the gas pain or strictly walking? Been walking A TON and while some is coming out pretty regularly, I'm still so uncomfortable...

operation was 2/22, discharging today...

Walking, walking, walking! And it takes a good 3 weeks to level out entirely - you will sound like an orchestra for awhile! Anesthetic and the air they pump into the abdominal cavity is the cause of the gas pains.

Hang in there, it improves daily. Also do not get dehydrated, carry Water with you always.

Walking, GasX strips, and fluids are helping me. I was surgery 2.20.18.

Drink drink drink and walk. It will start to feel better after 4-5 days. I remember the misery...

I took gas x, walked and layed on my left side. The left side trick was like a magic fart machine. :) Gas x helps once the gas makes its way into your intestines. Walking helps it move from your body cavity to your intestines.

Did anyone not pass gas 2 days post op? I have been burping but haven’t been able to pass gas




I pass gas on my third day... and I pretty much push it out cuz I want it to go home and they wouldn’t let me if I didn’t pass gas. So I walk walk walk than sat down on the toilet. Good luck and when your hear your insides growling you almost there .

      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.
