I prepared nothing for the gas. I just thought that was something to expect after surgery and anesthesia, and the gas won't really start moving until day 2 and day 3. Maybe gasx would have helped, over that now though.

From what I understand from the other posts that I have read, GasX does not help with the type of gas pain that will be experienced since it is not related to the stomach/intestines. What a lot of people have recommended is using a heating pad and walking tons to help alleviate the gas pain. I wish I knew that last summer when I had my gallbladder removed!

I hope all of you have speedy recoveries!

You know, I've read that, too, about Gas-X, and I'm curious how it would work. I just figured it wouldn't hurt and it might keep me from having the other kind of gas. I've burped a couple of times and it doesn't feel that great (just had surgery today.)

Welcome to the board and thanks for sharing!

About gas...my doctor said Phillips Milk of Magnesia liquid. I used it and had no problem with gas. The hardest part for me was walking around because i was so drugged up on the pain medicine they prescribed. They want you up and around to get rid of the gas. Good luck ya'll.

      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.
