Its really funny what we are.looking forwards to....a month ago i would have laughed at mushy food but now i say .....pretty please no more shakes.....lol

No kidding! LOL I've tried to change things up a bit. I have strawberry Body Fortress (WalMart) 26gr a scoop, added to 1 cup of skim milk 8gr then added a pkt of WonderSlim (online) pudding/smoothie mix 15gr. add some ice and blend. It tasted pretty good and gave me a good amount of Protein. I've been having trouble getting enough each day. Yesterday I did 2 scoops of the body fortress for 52gr. That really helps the day. I sip it over probably a two hour period, suggested by the nurse at my doctors offce.

Hows the pain a week out?.. like the actual stomach pain getting up and moving around?

Incisions are still sore, tender. Some gas pains still. Had surgery Thursday and quit the pain pills on Sunday. It's not that bad.

I had my surgery this past Monday the 26th and still experiencing gas pains. Tried Gas X to no avail. Any recommendations? How long does the gas last?

[newlife326 0]

Still tryna figure out how to post a question. I saw that Phazyme works for gas so I will try that. The Gas X is not working. Is it typical to continue experiencing gas 4 days after surgery?

[mandagay 93]

The gas can last for a week or more. U have to walk walk walk. It is not inside ur stomachs so has x isn't gonna get rid of it

[newlife326 0]

Ok, thx! It is driving me crazy, but I will push thru it and keep on walking. So, the Phazyme wnt work either?

[mandagay 93]

I don't know if it will or not but a heating pad is helpful. Ur body has to absorb the air. That's why the walking helps so much
