I am on day 4 postop and still experiencing what I describe as shooting gas spasms upwards through my diaphragm. I’m getting 64oz Water 60 grams Protein, Multivitamin, gasx, etc. any suggestions?

Wow I am impressed... I am four or five days post op (my operation was monday) and I have not met my liquid or Protein goal once and have not begun vitamins

As your your issue I find my gas is relieved with longer walks/movement it's when I lay down for awhile that I get gas pains

How is your incesion pain? Are you able to move around?

No pain really I just get this gas pain or feels like heartburn but it’s getting better everyday. I’ve been taking Gax X it helps so much. As of today I’ve lost 14lbs so far. 1 week check up tomorrow super excited for my diet to advance [emoji4] How are you feeling?

I am feeling good some pain and I started taking gasx today that is helping! No weightloss yet but I decided I'm not gonna weigh until Monday:) I usually weigh on mondays anyway

I had surgery on the 18th of April and was released from the hospital late on the 19th. I am having trouble eating/drinking enough hydrating and Protein due to pain and nausea. I spent yesterday in the emergency room getting fluids. I spoke to the surgeons and they have told me just to try to get in whatever I am able to. They also told me to take simethicone for the gas.

You were sleeved on my birthday! What is simethicone?

They gave me liquid in the hospital the last 2 days because I requested it. I'm a recovering addict and wanted off narcotics fast. I crushed them at home.

Yeah I refused narcotics too and they gave me liquid tylenol but I forgot to ask about when I got home.. thanks!

My pain was pretty much gone when I left the hospital. I took non narcotic pain meds twice when I got home and stopped because of the taste. but it was manageable without meds.

Where they liquid or chewable tylenol? Or did you crush tylenol?

Luckily I didn't have the nausea or vomitting. U can take gas x dissolve tabs. It goes away in about 3 days..at least it did for me. Hang in there. The transition out of the hospital is a little hard... U don't get that great pain med.

Thanks! I will try that
