Today is day 10 of my liquid diet. It has been rough, and I hate it. I have started these gas pains and tremendous bouts of gas inside my tummy. Today, I woke, no weight gained nor lost, but, Im bloated, and my jeans are tight. Three days ago, these very jeans, fit. And fit good. Now, they feel as if I was poured into them. I feel bloated, and full of gas, that I cant release. I dont know what to do about it. I just cant wait until this is over. Maybe just maybe I need to lay off soup for a while. I have noticed when I do eat the soup I get more gassy. So, back to the basics, just plain ole liquid thats sure to make me sick. And to top it all off, Im depressed cause I cant eat good food. And a certain someone in my life finds it ok to eat in front of me, tons of good food without remorse. Anyway, I had to rant. Any solutions for the gas? :cursing:

I think this is the best place to vent. Most all bandesters go through this hell. The liquid faze whether before or after surgery is HARD. Our minds always think of food, the TV shows all that we are missing, it's plain hard. I too am about 10 days out and can't wait till real food is back on my list of approved foods. Although I am not looking forwrd to the PB that may come. I hope I can remember small small bites and chew chew chew.

Today is my first day on a combination liquid and Atkins-type diet. Based on what I am reding here, I am not looking forward to the next 2 weeks!

I have consumed so much water today, I feel Im going to pop. Im drinking so much in hopes this gas will go away. Its kinda embarrasing sitting near other people when they hear your stomach explode with gas. My pants are still tight. Ugggh. Im not liking this. But, dont worry, it will be over before we know it. Monday for me is the big day, and Im terrified. I know that this is the safest surgery, but I cant help but think something can go wrong. And will. Sigh. Anyway, I have wanted food all day. Just something, a llttle bite of something, good thing I have people around me that keep me from eating. Even at work. Where I know if I wanted to cheat then I could, but Thank god they are here.
