I am extremely gassy since this Monday!!

I am not generally a gassy person, so for it to continue this long, I know it's not something I ate.

It's getting worse, and I work in an office with people coming & going constantly so I am having to go run down the hall to an empty office to let it out (lol, picture it?!). And spraying my body splash stuff.

My obgyn is a voicemail system, and they don't call me back for at least 24 hours.. anyone know if you can take gas-x? Or a good home remedy for it? :smile2:

I was googling, some people say don't take anything during 1st trimester, another site said it's fine.

One of them mentioned pre-natal Vitamins cause gassiness, so I wonder if that's the culprit!

My ob gave me a list of OTC meds I can take and although there isn't specifically a gas medication, you can take tums or pepcid. Maybe they'll help.

      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.
