Had gastric sleeve five days ago. My main problem is GAS! I swear I am going to explode. I have taken gas x but you can only take 4 tabs a day. It shells for awhile than I am hit with severe gas pains again. I can't drink water or eat. I am miserable. I have walked every day. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Get gasx strips

Is that better then the tablets?

Yeah, Gas X strips. They gave me 2 or 3 at a time multiple times a day in the hospital. I don't think there is a limit on them. Also, walk, walk and walk some more. It helps. Best of luck to you. I hope you feel better real soon.

Way better they desolve on ur tounge

Ok I will get some. Thanks for the advise. Day 4 by far was the worst day ever. I think I am getting dehydrated. I try to drink but can't cuz I am so full of air. I try to suck on sf popsvicles and today started drinking warm water which seems to help with the foam in my throat. The incisions are healing great. Just the gas, I will conquer this( I hope). W hen you are full of gas it is hard to breath.

Ive ,been there trust me for dehydratiion check see if u can have gatorade G2

I did drink pedi lite today and that got rid of the nasty migraine that I got from dehydration as well as a low grade fever. I will try Gatorade too. Thanks. I am scared at what my life is going to be like since this gas is so bad. I just hope it goes away.

It will get better and you will be so happy you had this surgery. You are still in the very early stages of healing and it seems to be a time of emotional ups and downs for most people. Know that what you are feeling both physically and mentally is totally normal and one day it will all be a remote memory.

Take care!
