Hi all... I am sure you have heard this before. I was banded 4 weeks ago today. I am not eating dairy, I am still just having liquid, am loosing very rapidly, but my problem is the gas. Thank goodness I work for myself. I am passing gas, and I am not kidding here, every ten seconds!! Not small amounts either. I just can't imagine that this is the CO2 still. I am sure there is some in me, but from what I understand that is released through respiration. This gas is in my tummy, painful, and distending. I am afraid of two things: this will never go away, and the bloating will dislodge my band. Any info would be great. Other than that, I feel great.

Anything with Simithacone in it will help :) Yes gas-x is awesome and comes in a chewable. Infant colic drops work well but you have to drink lol bout the whole bottle

      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.
