3 Months out and Gas pains?



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, I know TMI... but I have been getting horrible gas pains right after I eat. Almost instantaneous. I am about three months out and this just started. shakes are ok but I just had chicken and it was almost immediate. I'm chewing well so I don't think that is it. Gas X really doesn't help it. It is so weird. Anyone else? Or is i just me??

I'm the same way, I burp all day it's annoying and even nauseous. I sometimes have it when drinking Water. I see my doctor tomorrow for my second follow up, and I will ask him. I get frustrated because I shred my chicken and chew it so much and it still gives me the urge to burp

Thanks all! I got some sleep and I am doing better today. Living on yogurt and Water crackers. They think it affect me differently because of the surgery. I seem to be the weirdo with the intestinal issues. It just scares me since I had a complication with an intestinal stricture (staple caught the other side and twisted.) If it didn't ease up today I had to go in for an x-ray.

I went to the ER last night cause my stomache was hurting sooooo bad, I tried shower, bath, gas x, and milk of magnesia and nothing helped. At the hospital (after a long 4 hour wait) I had a cat scan and blood work which all came back normal, I was told to follow up with my dr which I did and he gave me two painful shots on my tummy, one on my belly button and the other on my left- it "helped" but the pain is still there-- he said it was an anti-inflammatory --- not sure what caused it but it scared me!!!!! It's not my gall bladder nor stones, he said it could be the sutures or the beginning of a hernia--- hope this goes away fast!!!

Raquel, You sound like me. It was freakin AWFUL! I tried everything (same as you) and nothing would help it. I almost went to the ER but I was afraid of what happened to you, sitting there and nothing. It did start to subside about a day after it started. I was scared too!

Let me know how you are and I hope it goes away fast!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
