I have tried to learn from all the bandsters that have proceeded me. I am 5 days out of surgery, feel great , didn't have any complications. I used all the tricks I read for helping the gas pain and they worked great, didn't have any pain, and got rid of the gas the first three days , by walking and using gas x. I was even able to empty out on the morning of the 3rd day, by having a cup of organic Kona coffee and a shot of half & half. I'm not hungry, but I have been eating a cup of healthy soup, for one meal a day and then a couple of protein drinks along with sipping water all day and into the evening . I have been a very slow weight loser, before surgery,but I have really firmed and toned by swimming everyday, have to be away from that for a couple of weeks, so I'm walking at least a mile a day. My new goal is to add at least a 1/2 hour every day,of weight resistance. I need to build more muscle to start really burning those calories. I have no doubt, I am going to reach my goals, one day at a time. Thanks to all, for sharing, I will definetly continue to pass it forward !

Wow. Great job. I'm happy to hear you're not having pains because I still am and I had mine on the 13th. I'm going to try Gas-X today and hope for the best. But keep up the great work. Can't wait to hear your weight loss progress!

Sorry...but what is Gas-X. I assume a pill of some sort...where do you get it.

gas-x comes in a strip that melts in ur mouth. u can get it anywhere like a pharmacy or wallmart ect.......

Thanks, I think I will make sure I have a supply, just in case I need it after my surgery.
