Walking is best. I still have an occasional gas hit but nothing significant. I hope you start feeling better!

Oh honey its normal. I had gas pains until day 9. I went and got gas x pills the best things ever. Ever since I started takimg them the pain has been gone. Only when I try to go eat something I get gas again but when I'm done I take another pill and feel better again. Those gas pains are bad. Hope this helps!

I have been using the Gas X strips and I just took a Tums. I noticed when I eat or drink I get it bad.

I was like that for a while. Day 8 I went for my follow up and I was still feeling like crap. So hang in there you'll start feeling better .. try the pills maybe the work better. Good luck. Feel better

If it makes you feel better I almost spewed on the treadmill at the gym due to gas build up This morning .I'm 2 weeks out and burp all the time especially when I eat . In the morning my stomach sounds like a pride of lions going off , due to gas . I'm not taking anything for it but after this mornings little episode I'm going to go and get some .

I'm having a hard time drink fluids? I'm sick of them and that's BAD...anyone out there can help I'm 5 days post op and honestly my family has to force me to drink the broths water eat jello Popsicles... Is anyone else having this problem.

I had the same problem (8 days post op), I broke down today and had some cream of mushroom Soup and cottage cheese. I checked with my doc and was told to take it slow. My biggest problem was the chocolate/vanilla Protein drinks. I really struggle with those and have put them in a small glass with ice to make it more palatable. Good luck though it will get better!

Sleeved yesterday and doing great! No incision pain at all. A bit of gas pain high in the chest, PA says that's from the hiatal hernia repair they did. Been up wandering the halls a lot because as you know getting good sleep in a hospital just ISN'T going to happen, lol.

Probably going home tomorrow, staring on 1oz Protein cups today along with my ice chips.

So happy and surprised with the ease of it so far, hop that continues!!

Welcome to h sleeved side Alene, how you doing??

Yes ive had this too....honestly burping didnt help me....I had try and lay from side to side and get the gas to move around to be expelled that way. I was advised NOT to us gasX (sent my hubby to buy the strips for tongue) it was to be natural process of coming out. Can I ask what nausea meds ur on? My doc has me on the Scapolomin patch behind my ear, zolfarn tabs that go under ur tongue and then I have some liquid stuff...I forget the name of it. My advice would be to insist on something new for ur nausea...and then walk around ur living room....its honestly the only thing that helped me. Hope some of that helps. What meds r u currently on for acid and heart burn?

Im doing pretty good, walking belching and peeing..lol, no vomiting or sick of the stomach. So knew and left shoulder pain but not to bad, so day 2 postop waiting on doctor to see if i can start my liquids...stil hyed on getting so close to my mini goal of 300 b4 surgery, 301 is close as possible....glad everyone is doing good, and praying for those going today ...for everyone, june rocks!!!

Museum mom I'm 2 days post surgery. I'm waiting for breakfast and eager to go home. Surgery went well. I.

Can't wait to get to a sugar free ice sickle pop

Day 14!!!! Doing pretty good. Gas pains are gone and belching after I eat is my sign to stop eating immediately. I am getting my fluids in pretty well but I am so over the protein shakes!!! But I know I have to get them in so I keep trying. Yesterday I had my first real vomiting episode, out of the blue I got nauseas and hurled. After that I was fine and nothing was different so not really sure what I did wrong that my belly didnt like. I hope everyone is doing well, good job!

Just Seen doc, said im doing verywell may go how this afternoon...wow! God is so good!
