Hey! So I had my surgery Tuesday and came home with hardly ANY gas pains, thank GOD, because I heard they are the worst!! I walked alot that day and yesterday the pain finally hit me. Soreness. And last night I started to get some gas pains. I take my gas x strips, but they seem to do.. absolutely nothing. This morning I woke up, well, I dont think I ever really slept, and I woke up this morning think I was going to throw up, watery mouth, went to the restroom splashed Water on my face and rubbed my phenergan on my wrists. I still am getting these bad gas pains and trying to make myself burp but they just wont come out!!!!

I have been drinking water, Vitamin water, apple juice and thats about it, yesterday I tried a little broth and blended some Soup up, but hardly ate either of those.

I'm trying so hard not to throw up b/c It's not good for the band!!!! support anyone?????!!!!

yeah the gas pain is the absolute worstt i know. gas x didnt help me at first, but i kept taking it hoping that eventually it would kick in.

if you have a heating pad, try that - i know it relieved some of the pain for me especially at night when i was laying down. if you dont have a heating pad, dampen a kitchen towel (or anything bigger than a washcloth really) and put it in the microwave to warm it up and use that.

walking around will help too, i just walked around my house every half hour and that got the gas moving around and started breaking it up.

      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.
