for those with sever gas pains from the co2 and gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

I'm about 53 hrs out of the gastric sleeve surgery and about 24 hours back home...i found that the worst part was the gas... I bought some almond milk mixed with coconut milk by a brand called silk and I've been able to drink a satisfying amount without it having it come back up and I've felt the gas pangs have subsided since...ive drank about 6 ounces over 5 hours and though the bloating is still there the gas pangs have calmed severely.. obviously I'm not a doctor I'm just spreading this discovery p..s. the mini fridge I bought for my room upstairs but those cactus coolers are not mine lol...

I did forget to mention I've done a lot of walking. alot. ... and that's helped with the bloating and the co2 gas trapped in the abdomen.

I’m three days out post op and i experienced a ton of pain from the gas the first day i was in the hospital. Eventually i was able to pass some and since I’ve been home I’ve had more soreness and pressure in my stomach area and a little in my back due to sleeping. I’m still trying to find my hitch in that. I’m walking too but I’m not allowed any milk products for at least two weeks, only Clear Liquids so for me it’s broth and Jello and Water and clear Premier Protein drinks. Good luck with your new journey

I guess the doctors orders varies....the coconut Water and savila(aloe vera drinkable) are clear liquids with an almost gel like texture.... today i just started getting gas pangs in my back and neck too. the walking helps a lot but I was told not to overdo that too.. forgive me for being crass but I started to expel gas the other way as well. I've been looking up light yoga techniques having to do with expelling trapped gas and I guess any progress is good. good luck as well with yours.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
