Does anyone else have gas pains all day?. I was fine when I was just doing thin liquids, but I'm about to move on tomushies, so I've been trying some new things. As soon as I eat, I have gas pains in my back for the rest of the day. Will this eventually stop happening?

I haven't been banded much longer than you, but everytime I eat it seems like I get gas no matter what. I belch constantly now; it drives me crazy. But if I don't then my port pokes out and is uncomfortable and eventually I get the back ache as well. I've been eating Gas-X like candy; don't want to be like this forever. I'm hoping things will be better once I get a fill (still another 2 weeks to go!). I wish you luck, and I totally feel your pain.

Yea, I always have gas. It's not painful like it was when I got my band, but I still have it.

I've had that problem also. Lived on Gas X all day and still had problems. When I got off the Protein drinks it improved some. I have now been able to very reasonably control the gas problems by using 4 Benefiber chewable tabs a day. The added Fiber really controls my gas problem plus it improved my bowel movements. The Benefiber tabs are sugar free and minisule calories. Get the fiber you need without the carbs. If you try this, start with 1 or 2 tabs a day and then increase till you reach a good balance for you. Since I began using Benefiber I average needing Gas X once or twice a month, usually after eating something like chilli.

Good luck!
