How long does the gas last? I'm taking Gas-X but wanted to find out more or less how much longer it'll last.

I am 5 days post-op and I am also having trouble with gas and cramping. I'm having difficulty getting much down because of the gas. Right now I'm finishing maybe 1/2 a Protein Shake and a bottle and a half of Water a day. Meeting the water and Protein goal is so hard! When does it get easier?

It looks like we had surgery on the same day, April 25! I've been walking and eating Gas-X but wanted to know how long it lasts.

Yes we did! I'm trying to get up and walk every hour. I didn't know we can take Gas-X. Maybe I should try that as well. I have no energy and I'm assuming it's because I'm lacking nutrients.

My doctor wrote a prescription for it and I didn't know the medical name was the same as Gas-X. I'm walking as often as I can.

Sleeve

Thanks I had rny 4/24 and I’m completely terrified to take anything. I’m having issues getting 20oz of fluids in at all and I suppose to get 64 a day! I think it’s gas because I feel super full and bloated

I find the more I walk, the less gas I have. I am 3 days after surgery. I have literally walked every hour since surgery. Every time I walk I feel some gas leaving me. Can’t wait until it’s all out!

The walking does help some. Yesterday I walked a lot more to try and alleviate the pressure, but may have over did it because this morning I woke up in a little more pain. I haven't been taking my pain med, but this morning I did.

Hmm, I had the sleeve done and I'm taking in about as much as you! I figured there would be more room for liquids than this. The Protein Shakes make me feel worse. It feels as if my stomach is up to my throat.

I'm hope your situation gets better so that you do not have to be re-admitted!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
