im home
surgery was the 13th . I'm back home yeah the gas pains are the worst please help. BEEN walking like a crazy woman . right after surgery walked the floor 3 times . today before discharge walked the whole floor 4 times around still have a hard time burping and only passed gas 1 time. I feel it moving all around just can't get it up or out. lol. drinking my 4 oz of muscle milk light
yeah the gas is bad. I had it for the first time this surgery (nothing from the band or band removal).. PS - it doesn't want to go up -it wants to go out in the lower area lol...
It was strange as it was in my lower back - not my shoulders - so I didn't even know what it was...but then once the nurse clued me in -I started taking GasX and it really helped. I noticed in more in the mornings after laying down and not moving - or if I would sit for any longer period of time. I am two weeks out and still have it occasionally - but nothing like the first week. The good news is it is harmless (painful yes) and goes away..
I am supposed to go to some mushies next week - but still having full feelings after drinkable yogurt so taking it so on my new stomach....figure this is my time to really impact my weight loss - so I'll take it. Just making sure I get enough liquids, protien and excerise...
Stick with it...you are on the right path...

The gas will get better soon. I had my VSG tues and friday was the day it all seemed to leave. Had a few episodes today but nothing compared to thursday. Are you mixing your muscle milk or is it the premade in the carton? I am having a devil of a time with protein.. not coming close to daily needs. All clear diet sucks more than pre op diet did LOL Dawn
