Did anyone find that gas x helped with the gas pain or strictly walking? Been walking A TON and while some is coming out pretty regularly, I'm still so uncomfortable...

operation was 2/22, discharging today...

Walking, walking, walking! And it takes a good 3 weeks to level out entirely - you will sound like an orchestra for awhile! Anesthetic and the air they pump into the abdominal cavity is the cause of the gas pains.

Hang in there, it improves daily. Also do not get dehydrated, carry Water with you always.

Walking, GasX strips, and fluids are helping me. I was surgery 2.20.18.

Drink drink drink and walk. It will start to feel better after 4-5 days. I remember the misery...

I took gas x, walked and layed on my left side. The left side trick was like a magic fart machine. :) Gas x helps once the gas makes its way into your intestines. Walking helps it move from your body cavity to your intestines.

Did anyone not pass gas 2 days post op? I have been burping but haven’t been able to pass gas




I pass gas on my third day... and I pretty much push it out cuz I want it to go home and they wouldn’t let me if I didn’t pass gas. So I walk walk walk than sat down on the toilet. Good luck and when your hear your insides growling you almost there .

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
