walk, walk, walk then go on a walk

sorry that not much help but the movement helps move the gas. it can take from a few days to a week or more to get it all out and then every time you eat or drink you swallow air and it starts over again.

I promise it gets better just hang in there.

Walking, drinking my Clear Liquids, and Gas Z strips (it won't help the shoulder pain, but did help my gut gas).

Shoulder pain is usally from,leftover gas from surgery pooling up under your diaphragm. You get the referred pain in your left shoulder. I could go into a 15 minute tutorial on Embreology, anybody want to hear it? Nope didn't think so, leftover from the way you developed before birth, that's why you feel diaphragm pain in your shoulders, usually left and fall bladder pain is in upper right back and shoulder. The Bible says in Psalms that we were strange and wonderously made and the Psalmist knew what he was talking about.
There are a lot of weird feelings and twinges you'll feel after surgery but in the kind run they don't count for,much, what does matter is fittness, better health, loss of weight,, and a happier outlook on life. And lessenng of the problems obesity brings, a win win situation. You are young enough your skin will smooth out and snap back into shape. At 72 I'll have so much skin I'll look like a Shar Pei, but better a live Shar Pei than lying dead in a casket. Besides people love and pay a lot of money for Shar Peis. I could win a blue ribbon in the Recycled People Show.😨💤

      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.
