My doc said no to any gas meds, he wanted me to pass it naturally. Every time I felt a tightness in my chest, I walked. Within the first week, all has discomfort was gone.

I took it starting Day One. They gave it to me in the hospital; it was the meltable strips, though.

I was given gas strips in the hospital the day after surgery. Im assuming it helped because I had no problems with gas while taking them.

Walking is working best for me, as well as a heating pad. Let me know how you feel today!

Still lots of gas for me, the strips just arent cutting it. I just keep walking. I have the acid reducer too, but not sure if it makes a difference or not lol. I just want to melt some of this fat off! I lost like 30 lbs pre surgery, I havent weighed myself yet since Ive been home...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
