bad gas
I had the same issues....all liquids were fine except really thin stuff like water, tea etc..they all caused pain/gas.. I'm not sure how long ago you had surgery, but it does get better! I'm not sure what you can do to get rid of it besides walking lots. It will help move the gas out. Sorry I couldn't be more help...but I hope you start feeling better soon...hang in there! :-)
The first 4 days post-op for me were very much like a torture experiment with gas. Unreal.
Are you walking as much as you can? That was the ONLY thing that helped me at all.
Maybe add something like MiO to your water?

I am almost 5 yrs post-op and it depends on the type of foods I eat..I still get really bad gas, so I have learned to consume those foods only on a Friday or Sat night, everthing from sausage to sunflower seeds ends up in a case of Peppy Le Pew
Your body will eventually adjust itself and work out which foods items it will tolerate easier than others.
prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss.
life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!. Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
