Gas, gas and more gas........



Recommended Posts

Thank God the gs pains are starting to go away!!!! I am on day 7 and the gas pains are reduced a lot! Still right under my left rib only, so standing straight sometimes doesn't happen. I walk around all day long and still it lingers. How long can I expect this annoying pain in my tummy to last? :(

It gets better each day. My pains come and go and my gas pain is in my left shoulder. If you have not returned to work yet or some level of activity I would highly recommend that you find some way to get a little active. I found that I had things that must be done but I didn't think I felt good enough to do them. Once I started moving everything started feeling better and I was soooo happy I got up. I took a ride on my motorcycle on day 4 post surgery and was thinking at first it was a mistake, but after about 5 minutes I felt great. Moving really gets the gas moving in your body. I went back to work on day 6 and all was fine.

Good luck!

      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.
