I was banded on 10/17, I'm having pain/tightness in my upper back, shoulders,& neck. I'm also having a lot of burping/more like air pockets that i can feel rising up its can be pretty painful.

I did clear liquid for 3 days & have now added Protein Shakes to it also, all together I only drink about 3-4 cups of liquid a day I have taken mylanta for the gas but maybe I should switch to gas x.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ok it sounds like you are having a lot of gas. Are you walking. YOu have to move and walk to get it all out. It's going to take up to a few weeks everyone is different. Also it's a good idea to try a different medication for gas. gas X just may work. Good Luck

You need to walk more to get rid of the gas.

You probably still have the gas they used to expand your abdomin trapped in.. mine lingered for over a week.. it will feel like you need to burp but it's pressure in your body cavity on your esphogas, not coming up from your stomach. It really helped getting up and moving around to help that gas dissipate. it's likely not due to what you are eating.

These are all normal symptoms and will pass in another week or two. Gas X is suppose to help but I think walking is what really helped me and don't use a straw it can cause more gas and bloating.

      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?

      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.
