I've read that a lot of people use these post op to relieve the gas pain. But I can't find them in stores so I'm going to buy them online. Do they really work? Do they ( meaning dr and nurses) let you use them in the hospital post op? I guess if anyone can tell me are they really worth it?

I bought a box at Walgreens Drug Store and found I didn't need them. I was told to walk around to relieve gas pains. Never really felt any gas pains. I only felt one of my incisions and it was tolerable that I only had one dose of pain med right after surgery. so I guess for me, it wasn't worth it.

Look in the antacid aisle. Since they are strips that dissolve in the mouth, they can be used in the hospital. I paid about 3.50 for a box.

They work, at least for me, and they work fast. I still use them occasionally. I picked mine up at Walmart.< /p>

Gas-X strips tasted absolutely gross to me. I went back to using the chewable Gax-X and they work just fine.

You guys are fortunate to know about those strips. My pains from the gas they use during the operation made me close to tears for 5 DAYS.

      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...

        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.
