how much gas can one person hold?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on friday the 28th of August. I have to see I feel pretty good except for gas. How long does it last normally? I went to a buskerfest yesterday as I was told moving around was the best thing for getting rid of the gas. I wasn't feeling to good after that but took a 4 1/2 hour nap it was better. I feel it mostly in my chest and shoulders any other suggestions for moving it. Otherwise all seems really good so far,:wub:

I had my surgery the same day and have been wondering the same thing. I finally broke down and bought some Gas-X. That helped a little bit. I'm wondering though, how much discomfort is normal or am I drinking my liquids to fast?

try having someone pat your back, walking around does help get rid of it, it helped me get rid of mine. I think it lasted 3-4 days. It was so long ago I can't remember haha I was banded July 31st, try a heating pad that also helps (: it'll go away before you know it :wub:

Surgery on the same day as well :wub:

The gas pains really are the worst part, what I've been doing is getting up every hour and a half and taking a walking lap around my apartment hallways. It hurts while I'm going but it feels better when I get back.

And don't fight the burps! lol

      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.
