still cant with these cold drinks' date=' and there is lingering gas. i pray every night for it to go. imma get my mom to burp me like a baby lol[/quote']

I find the if I use a heating pad on my back for about an hour(on low) I find when I walk around later the gas passes.

I pace a lot in my apartment. Movement is a big key to get the gas out.

Wednesday is Sleeve day for me! I'm stocked up on Jello, whey Protein Powder and SF Clear Liquids. Packing light for the hospital: toothbrush, chapstick, flip flops and the little pillow for my belly =) It seems like the worst part is the gas! Any last minute advice from you early July sleevers??

Sleeved on 7/18. Living on Premier Protein (avail @ Sam's Club). 30 grams of Protein in 11 ounces; chicken broth and SF ice pops. Can't wait for Thursday to move to soft foods.

As soon as you can get out of bed, walk, walk, walk. Really helps release the gas.

Good luck.

Take gasp strips or chewables. I used mine for two days. I was less active. Once more active I need them.

Surgery went well. Dr only used 4 incisions vs his normal 5 because my liver shrank so much during my 3 week liquid diet that he didn't use a retractor. Starting ice chips later today. Thanks vst for all you encouragement.

I was sleeved yesterday & I'm here at Baylor Plano sipping away... I hope everyone is doing well

This cracks me up- I don't remember posting this, LOL! I made it home from the hospital & all is well but when the nurse was pulling the drain tube I almost passed out. For some reason the tube was stuck. After a shot of morphine & deep breaths, the RN pulled it out.

Well I'm still in the hospital 5 days later and getting two more rounds of blood. I hoping to get home tomorrow and I know that emergency surgery has put me back but how long did it take most everyone else to not be in so much pain? I haven't really been up and walking just lots of sleeping and sitting up. This new full feeling is a strange one!
