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.

      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.
