Okay sleeved 3/30... And I'm still having problems with gas . It keeps wanting to come up (belching) and it hurts whenever it happens ... I'm just curious any ideas on things I can change with drinking or eating to help it

I had the same issue i had mine on 3/24 and gas x tablets and strips helped a lot. The gas pain is the worst

Me too. I just started walking laps in my house and circling my arms above my head. Worked great.

Iam 4 months post op and I'm still very gassy. I don't burp at all but i def pass gas all day long.

Don't shake your protein shakes to mix them up or the froth left on top will wind up as gas in your tummy

Oh yeah- expect for it to be more intense for the first week and a half. The gas x strips to help a lot.

Some of what your feeling too maybe the trapped air in your chest, from surgery. That will be absorbed over the next week, but it makes things uncomfortable

I try to exhale when I swallow.. to take in less air. I'm not sure if it's working, but I think it is lol

Walking around definitely helps. Also be conscious of how much air you swallow while drinking. It's something we never thought about before but it's a big deal now.

How do I stop swallowing air?

Impossible to stop all together. Best way to minimize it is to eat slower than you ever have before. I'm still learning how to do this because I used to eat way too fast. I was sleeved 3/23.

Okay thanks for the advice . Definitely gonna try.
