Yes, I'm still having the gas in my shoulder as well as in my belly. I actually couldn't sleep in my bed for the first 6 days, cause the pain was so intense. My nurse told me to get out the recliner chair and just lay down, and I wish I would of done that, cause I really began to get relief from the gas....sorry hubby....LOL. I take the chewable gas x tablets, but like you said, sometimes it doesn't work as well.
I'm beginning to eat regular food now, and I sometimes feel like the food is getting stuck in my chest, so I have to wait it out, before I can continue to eat. Not drinking is the hardest part for me, taking a sip of something I feel will help, but it a big NO NO. I haven't had to drink any of the Protein drinks yet, but I know eventually I will.
One thing I do hate is the crushing of all my meds, I swear it sometimes takes all my might not to vomit, but its disgusting...how long will it be before I can get off these stupid pills?????
OK, enough for now, I could go on and on, but I don't want to bore you...lol
