your stomach is going to be doing a lot of gurgeling and producing a lot of gas at first. lots of burping... this helpsin the first few weeks. surgical gas from the OR is totally different

The Gas-x strips might give you a little relief, but the best thing for surgical gas is to get up and walk as much as you can. I had about two bouts with surgical gas on surgery day, and the pain went away almost immediately each time. Can't recall any problems with gas after that.

I think sometimes people don't understand the difference between surgical gas and intestinal/stomach gas. I know for a while I didn't understand that it would be surgical gas inside my system.

I've had experience with the surgical gas before with 2 previous procedures....walking is really the only way to get rid of surgical gas....I'm assuming the Gas-x is for an upset stomach maybe...I plan to buy some to have at home just incase....

I didn't have any gas pains, so didn't need them. But my Dr said it can help with gas pains after surgery.

Walking is the only thing that helps(was so frustrating after surgery). Not trying to be mean but I just keep seeing people suggest it for surgical gas pain and im thinking is there something I missed?

I take them after each meal and after I swallow any pills. Also, they make my breath smell deeee-lightful.

I use the gas x strips daily cinnamon and they worked from the very first day of surgery. I find that the strips work immediately. Hope this helps!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
