How many gas-x chewables do you take at a time. I am 3 days post op and having horrible gas pains. Thanks in advance.

I have the gas x mouth strips. I am now taking Prilosec (crushed) and 1 strip and it makes me feel so much better

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.. The chewables help, just had a sugar- free Popsicle and didn't feel so bad... Slowly testing out what my stomach can tolerate... Thinking of have g broth or sf Jello. Any suggestions given I'm 3 days post op? Just got discharged today... ;)

As you read above I had a horrible time with Water so broth, Jello, and I didn't agree much lol I tried Tomato Soup with skim milk last night and it felt amazing!!

Make sure you take something to help with acids in the morning, that has saved me a lot.

Congrats! It definitely feels good to be home, this is my third day out of the hospital :-) make sure you walk around your house a lot too. That will help with gas pains

Thanks for the great advice, yes the gas pains have been horrible but I've heard walking helps so I'm walking every half hour. The Gas-x is helping a bit too and I'm on pepcid for the next 30 days... Thanks and congrats on being home for 3 days!!!

Hello I'm 6 days post op and u have to remember that ur stomach is still swollen. So you have to take it easy. I couldn't keep anything down until I found that after having some Fluid I chase with some ice then I could get it down. I wish you the best.

      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.
