Hi,

Has anyone tried the Gas-X liquid gels (puncture them and put the contents in something and drink it) or the strips that you put on your tongue and they dissolve?

On one of the lists for stuff to get for after your surgery, it said liquid Gas-X. I haven't been able to find it so I asked the pharmacist and the above is what she suggested? Just wondered if that worked or not.

Thanks,

Jackie

I also used the gas x chewables but I honestly have to say the most helpful was getting in and out of my husbands little sports car. Something about that motion really worked if you know what I mean.

Thanks to both of you. I just saw the chewables in the store today and figured they would be better. Thanks for the laugh Dislexi. I know exactly what you mean...

I've been doing the strips and the Rollaids chewable thingies - they taste like Starbursts! I think walking is the best medicine, though!

It's funny how all of a sudden my main topic of conversation with my friends is about Gas. My new nickname is "Gaseous Clay". :biggrin1:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
