I was banded yesterday a 7:30 a.m. I am feeling different than I thougt I would. My tummy is making the most strange sounds it has ever made. So much gurggling. It hurts sometimes. Sometimes no pain at all. I have not needed pain meds. Just reg. Tylenol has been o.k.

The thought of having to drink Protein fluids is kinda making me naseaous.

I know some people have mentioned gas-x. Is that for treating external gases that are being released (burping/farting) Or is that to calm all of this gurgling or gasses?

Thanks to everyone who offered support in my hours of need before the surgery.

CONGRATS ! Yes your tummy will be making strange noises from now on lol

are you suppose to have protien shakes ? I was on Clear Liquids only the first week and really the first week , espically the first few days I was not hungry . So I would maybe just try sipping on Water constantly .

Keep yourself hydrated. The gas x is for the pain that you might have from the gas pains due to the surgery . Or the air being expanded in your abdomen. If your feeling any pain in your chest or shoulders you might need some gas x.

Good luck , Feel free to IM me if you need anything

Welcome!! Congrats on your band. My stomach still makes weird noises all the time. I also still have a lot of gas. I burp a lot. Oh well it is so.....worth it. Donna

I took the gas x a couple times a day in the first week- now I take it once a day in the morning with my other meds just to keep my stomach calm-seems to be working so far
