So I went shopping today for some things I figure would be helpful after surgery. For baby spoons and baby bowls with lids. Found these cool baby food containers that are flexible plastic to go from fridge to freezer. Plus they are pink- this is very important lol.

Went to get gas ex but they didn't have the strips so I got chewables. Will these be ok right after surgery? Planning to take them to hospital in case of bad gas issues. Just wondering if anyone has used the chewables after surgery?

I used the chewables with no problems, I also found sleeping in my lazy boy helped the first few nights, couldn't lie down at all.

I used Gas X chewables right after surgery with no problems at all. I actually tried the strips and they did not work nearly as well as the chewables did. I also had to sleep in my lazy boy for about the first 2 weeks.

I still carry the chewables at 5 months. The strips don't work as well IMO. I also slept in the recliner for about two weeks with a heating pad. It was the greatest!

Pink is my signature color! :D

Thanks for all the replies.... we do have a recliner but I typically hate it since it rocks when not reclining. I have short legs (I'm all torso at 5'9) which don't reach the floor in it and the rocking makes me nervous. We'll have to see if I use it after surgery or not. I do love my heating pad, though I'll need to remember to take it home from work. I keep it in my desk since i get so cold here.

      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.
