My friend had the sleeve done yesterday. She is annoyed because she is very gassy and cannot keep liquids down... Is there something she can do... My date is June 11.. and its scaring me to see her be so uncomfortable

Hello, I snuck gas x strips in and it was my life saver. They are minty and they work!

She's early out what she is feeling is very normal,

She needs to be up and walking at least 10 minutes an hour to help with the gas. As far as the nausea has she asked the doctor for anything?

LOTS of advice on here for gas. WALKING is the best. Gas x strips they say are very helpful.

WALK WALK and walk some more. It's the only thing that will rid your body of the gas. Plus.. It gets you moving and recovery is quicker if you don't sit around. That's something you can remember when you're out of surgery. Don't put off getting up and walking as soon as you wake up. It's the deal breaker :D

I puked up everything I tried to drink for the first 2 days--unfortunately, it's normal :)

I, for one, and so glad I had the gas x strips! They, as well as walking frequently, were lifesavers :-D best wishes

      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.

      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.
