No problem..also you can take up to 8 gas ex strips a day. Now if you can't get in 64 oz at first don't fret... Get 12 oz less than that. You can drink decaf green tea mild. It calms and heals the tummy. Tepid. Don't force a gulp let it move across your mouth and slowly let it seep in. Also they told Meir you talk a lot you are putting air in your tummy. I am nose breathing too. When you need to burp, do so gently.. Don't force it.. Ok?

Are you continuing to do well? I am doing really well. I hope this continues too. I realize everyday I read on here how lucky I was to find Alvarez. How are you doing? -
Yes, maybe you are taking too big of sips. Try to go even slower. Don't take a real drink.
-
I agree, try to get stronger and see if you can gain weight. Can you get a second opinion?

My dr says after 21 days and your tummy has completely healed I can have wine or alc. just remember u get buzzed faster so u shd keep it to a 2 drink max and u stay buzzed longer. Don't get a DUI. As long as I can have one drink I am happy.
