I'm a week postop and I can't take a sip of water without my stomach rumbling and sending painful burps up through my chest. Does this go away soon? It's the worst in the morning. I have to sit down two or three times while getting ready to leave just to breath my way through it.

Gas X will help,and it does go away, think it went away for me after about 2 weeks.

I had gas so bad! I posted a couple of times about it on here...every sip or bite made me miserable and I'd have to get up and walk. I used gasX, Maalox, Prilosec and beano and STILL had gas. Walking helped more than anything tho it's annoying to get up and walk during a meal. I am happy to report that it has gotten so much better this week (my 4th week). Hang in there!

I had really bad gas as well the first week. Walking was really the only way it felt better, I took prilosec as well though. I think it got better by week 2. Hang in there!

Well it FINALLY subsided!! Saturday (10 days postop) I was determined to get my 64oz in (I hadn't up to that point) so I walked and drank and cleaned and walked and drank and cleaned and walked and drank my way to almost 100oz! I was so proud and happy :-)

The next day, I realized tag painful gas whenever I drank anything was gone. I feel like a brand new person. I was honestly having so many regrets thinking that was going to be my life.

Sunday & today I got all of my protein shakes in and tonight I made homemade potato & broccoli soup and ate probably about 4oz. My tummy was rumbling but I just tried to go slow and not overdo it.

My energy feels like its back to normal too :-)

So happy!

I've had the same problem! I was just thinking tonight I was going to have to call my doc tomorrow for a refill on the pain meds it's been so bad! It got better when I started puréed foods but it's back with a vengeance tonight!
