Please help:

My gas situation is NOT getting better, in fact I think something is wrong with my stomach. I am unable to burp at all, and I'm totally not kidding, I can not get any gas out of my abdomen. Yesterday, after having my 2oz. of Breakfast and 2oz. of lunch, both consisting of mothing more than broth and Protein shake, I can barely get down the 2oz. at a time. Well, I put a total of 4 oz. in and no gas came out, neither end..if you know what I mean..and I ended up at 4PM dry gas heaving in the weeds next to my son's soccer game. I was totally mortified.

I mean really, I'm 5 day's post op and I can't eat but 2oz. at a time. This just doesn't seem right to me and I've gotten to a poing where I'm like...does anybody else want to give me another obstacle to effect my weight loss? I did 2 weeks of liquid died, didn't cheat once, I'm now 5 day's post op and all in all I've only lost a total 8 lbs.

I'm just so frustrated.....I know I shouldn't focus on the wieght loss...but HELLO is this not the reason I'm doing this?

I am suffering through all us this with the worst gas pain ever...I totally need a break here. Somebody please tell me what to do about my tummy gas..

Thank you, Kerrie

The only thing that I have found helps me with my gas pains is a heating pad. I put it on my shoulder or back where ever the pain is really bad. Like others have said the gas-x hasnt really been to much help but if i take 2 at a time it helps alittle. also the more I am up and around the house the better the gas pains are.

Lucky Losers!!!

Thanks for the advise...I will try anything at this point! I would LOVE to add soft foods..no such luck though..I am in the beginning of week 4 liquids...2 before, one down post-op and another to go...This had better be the worst part of this whole process..because I'm beginning to loose faith...thanks again...Kerrie

I had my surgery on March 11, 2009. I have had alot of gas. I am glad to know that I am the only one. I have walk but am still having it. I will have to try the tea. I am not having any trouble keeping liquids down. I am drinking Whey with skim milk also to get the protein. I gain 4 pounds after surgery and havent weight again.
