...or some crazy gas in my stomach that won't freaking go away and I'm dying here. It isn't the CO2, either. Oh yes, I have the rest of the day on clear liquids and then I start on full liquids. Any suggestions?

I was banded on the 22nd I just made it through the first week of the liquid diet --- the worst part is over I did not like the recovery at all. I hope all went well. Maybe we can help eachother I feel like I live on this reading everyones comments.

I was banded on the 16th of March and I still have a little gas I think. It won't come out though. It's stuck in my stomach and moves around, but it won't come out. In the beginning I thought I was hungry but I know now I am not. This is my first surgery and this is quite an experience.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know I'm going through the same thing. I was banded on the 26th...My stomach is aching BAD....I think it will be better when we can get something a little more solid in our stomachs. For me, the pains come in waves. I never have done well when I'm hungry, or....nothing in my stomach (same thing to me). My stomach growls a lot and I feel "sick to my stomach". I think this would be the normal for anyone just drinking liquids and no real food. I am trying to drink more broth and stay away from all the sugary juices....that seems to be helping a bit tonight.

Take care and hang in there...we'll make it:) Cyndy in Oregon

I used Gas X strips. If you are hungry eat some creamy soup. You can have anything that fits through a straw. Good luck.

Hi

I had my op last Friday 22/3/07 and feel (almost) normal today Fri 30/3/07.

The pain of the op was bearable but the gas was not. Thankfully it has gone now. Keep going it gets better.
