3 days post op

Hello all. I had my surgery on 4/30 and was sent home yesterday on pureed foods. right now i am tolerating applesauce, baby food and water pretty good. I cant stop burping and constantly have gass pressure in my tummy is this normal? and any other suggestions on some quick foods to try? thanks

Hi Toni ! I too am 3 days post op. Surprised your on pureed ! I won't be on those until next week. I can relate to the burping and gas. Altho I haven't been able to push any gas out until just today but it feels so much better when it finally comes out ! Just walk walk walk walk and sip sip sip should help ! Congrats ! ~~Rona

Thanks for the reply Rona & congrats. on your surgery. yeh my doctors had me on stage 3 before i left the hospital. also try laying on your right side. i found this helps relieve the gas alot.... take care

Try Gas X Strips to get rid of the gas pain......they really work!!! I first read about them on this forum and have told many people who are having gas problems. I am still on liquids and don't advance to pureed foods until tomorrow...so I can't give you any help on the quick foods.....but I am sure others will have suggestions. Best of luck to you on your weight loss journey.....Marcy

My hubby blended up a can of chunky sirloin soup into baby food consistency tonight and I ate it and it tasted so good! I also did mashed potatoes with some melted velveeta in them, watered down with a little milk to make them a little soupy. You can also put a scoop of non fat dry milk in them and boost the protein.
