5 days out of surgery and trouble drinking and eating
I had my gastric bypass surgery on Tuesday the 26th and now I am having terrible gas and troupble drinking or eating anything. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to help? Did Beano help anyone?
Just looking for suggestions or anyone else who is suffering. Would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks in advance.

I had my surgery 1 day before you and I have been on clear liquids for the 1st week so I have not eaten anything other than jello (if you consider that eating). With the gas pains what I find works more than anything is walking and time I am just starting to get more gas out these last couple of days. I have used gas X strips and they seem to help with the upper gas but not much with the lower gas. I find it is very hard to keep the liquids down if I go to fast I really need to sip slowly. Also try room temp rather than cold liquids it seems to help also for me.
I hope you start to feel better soon

I had surgery the same day and experienced the same post surgery symptoms....today I feel much better...Like those before me stated we need to expell the gas and walking seems to help alot. In fact I was only able to expel the gas for the past two days...the first three days after surgery the gas pain shot into my shoulders (it was quite painful)
