Oh yes that's very painful. If you can manage a few short walks through the day that will help disperse the gas naturally within your body. I felt like I had swollowed a rock for the first 6 days. It slowly went away just hang in there Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Hi, it's through Amazon. I thought the packets were small so ordered 4 and they are massive! There is 0g sugar, 0.8g carbs - so it's really good x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Hello. I'm day 7 and I have exactly the same problem. Is yours better now? Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Hello! I'm day 7 post op mini bypass. I won't bore you with details as to why, but I didn't get to meet a dietitian so I'm following eating guides from the Internet. I'm just finishing my week of Clear liquids. Anyone have a menu for their week 2 that they can take a pic of and upload? Confused about quantities and just want to check what others are doing. Would really appreciate it! Thank you Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I'm glad you asked this, I also was done on 14/9. Look forward to hearing replies Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

.. Or whoever does the cooking! If you are on a pre or post liquid only diet and have to still cook for your family then I feel your pain! Just cooked a roast chicken dinner (my fav meal of all time) for my family and so badly want to shove some in my mouth! Hey ho...

Hello. I'm day 5 post mini bypass. I can't seem to shift this feeling that I have a rock lodged in my esophagus, just below my breast bone. Anyone else have this feeling? Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. Had a nightmare 7 hour car journey home yesterday, 4 days post op wasn't the best experience as still uncomfortable! Going to stay my Gump walking today! Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I had mini bypass yesterday. Surgeon felt it best for me as apparently long term weight loss is better with the bypass than sleeve - although of course depends on individual and lifestyle Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Hi! When you say you Dump do you mean pain in stomach and/or vomiting? Or does that include diarrhea as well? Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Don't worry about cheating on pre op diet. I did too and I had my bypass yesterday with no problems. As long as you not eating greasy fries all day, don't stress! Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. So this trapped gas will last several days? I just walked down the hospital corridor and started gagging - feel sick! Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Hi all - please help. I had my bypass this morning and I have terrible spasiming like pain when I breathe in on my left side. I'm assuming it's trapped gas? I can't seem to release it. Any ideas? Nurses keep giving me pain relief meds in iv but it's not helping. I can't sleep it's so painful Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Sept 14th too! Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I'm in france and they only require two week liquid diet for the band. For the sleeve and bypass their prefer just a low fat diet. It's all about cleansing the liver of fat to shrink it. I'm no expert at all but as long as it's not fried chicken on the salad, I would think it ok? I could be completely wrong mind you... Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Me too! I've been big all my life (from age of 10) so I have no idea what I look like without masses of extra flesh on my body! Just can't visualise it at all Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App
