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:

      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.
