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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
