:help: Okay wasnt so bad ! I feel gassy and really sleepy. I've been doing lots and lots of walking as still cant get rid of that gassy feeling any ideas? Will gas X help? This is great I'm barely hungry. Been doing my liquids. I'm also sooooooooo bloated.

Hi Sparkling, I'm not banded yet (hopefully April 17th). From what I have read on other threads, Gas x is highly recommended, as well as heating pads. They say the bloating will go away soon. I'm so excited for you and your new beginning. I wish you much success. Take it easy and don't do too much. Just let your body have time to heal. See you on the other side.

Hi Sparkling. I have to admit, the gas is probably worse than anything else. (If you have it bad) Everyone says heating pads and gas x is the trick.

Once it lets go and starts to dissipate you just might want the bloatedness back! Keep walking and the heating pad helps to relax the tightness making burping easier with less discomfort. It goes the other way too, so enjoy. Do anything soothing, like tea, or a good book (between walks). It came as a surprise most of the time at first in the form of a semi-painful hiccup.

Welcome home and welcome to Bandland, Sparkling! I agree with everyone else's posts. The more you move around the faster you'll begin to feel better. Sounds like you're doing well. Be sure to drink as much Water as you can.. small sips though. Don't rush it, just keep consistent about drinking through the day. It's important to stay hydrated.

Keep us posted on how you're doing.

Gas is the worest!!!! The best thing is walk and the heating pad....GasX didn't do anything for me. (But that was for me) The heating pad was the best.

Good Luck - This is the worest of it!!!

Just keep on moving...

Best of luck to ya!

The gas will go away...it was my worst thing too!....just try to move around as much as possible.....and let it rip wherever it needs to :omg: :omg: LOL..........Take Care and congrats!

Much Love

I suffered terribly from gas for two weeks. One hour after cutting out dairy, I felt 90% better and have remained so ever since...

Gas X didn't do a thing for me, either! It only slightly helped after a couple weeks and I had gas in my intestines. Gas X won't help referred shoulder pain and gas pain in your abdomen. Walking and heating pads and ridding myself of fruit juices was the only thing that helped for me.
