Gas PAINS!!!!! Liquids Post Op!!

They are not SOOOO bad but oh man do they hurt. I am 5 days post op and I thought I was in the clear but they came and they came with a vengeance!

And this liquid post op diet is KILLING ME. I AM SO HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. I CANNOT WAIT FOR MONDAY the 13th... that's when I start my next phase of diet.

Any tips, help, advice??

I am in the EXACT same boat. I'm 5 days post op too. I'm so hungry. Not my stomach hurting or anything, just these liquids. Oh. My. Gosh. I don't ever want to see broth or Jello ever again in my life. I'm so excited that Monday I can have pudding LOL.

I am 10 weeks post op, lost 50lb so I'm feeling great, just know how important following the diet is, you can really hurt yourself if you try to start eating solids early. Hang in there! The only thing I still eat from the liquid phase is popscles. I try to remind myself that eating what I wanted got me in this place so it's my time to sacrifice for my health

Yes, I lay on my side with a pillow up to my chest. Also a heating pad. Pushes the air out. I wasn't able to pass gas until yesterday. My surgery was 2/8.

I was told any clear soup strained like miso, or light chicken noodle and creamy soups that are light. All have to be strained and light. Low carbs and sugar. I really like "better than bouillon".

I tried Milk of Magnesia and felt great after my first bowel movement. Monday. But today (Wed) the gas pains are coming back. I've also thought many times about chewing a cracker and spitting it out. This is way harder than I ever imagined! But I'm trying to remind myself this phase won't last forever and if we've gone thru the surgery we can do this!!!!

I had the same thing last week. I took the magnesia too and oh gosh it helped that day but the next couple days were rough again and then I felt better after that.
