Had my surgery on Monday. Came home yesterday. I had two strips last night four hours apart. I haven't needed them all day today, but I've been able to walk a lot more today. I'm too scared to take too many of the strips because I'm afraid I won't be able to have a bowel movement. Which I still haven't had.

I think majority of your gas pains are the kind gasx will not help with. During the surgery they pump your abdominal cavity with CO2 and this is the pain you are experiencing... Walking will help, you have my word for it. I was using gasx for few days after the surgery, but my doc said its pointless. The piping needs to adjust itself...

Thanks everyone for the advice! I tried walking more today then what I had been and the pain has been a little better today. I also think I might be lactose intolerant for right now...

I used them while recovering but not really sure it helped. More of it was walking that helped the most.... I use em now tho! While I am proud of my post op weight loss the gas after surgery is nothing pretty ..as u will find plenty of us talking about noticing post op :/

      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.
