Try deep breathing exercises (using a spirometer - my doc sent me home with one) or like this:

Take a slow, deep breath, inhaling until your lungs are completely full, hold it for about 5-7 seconds and then purse your lips like you're blowing up a balloon - to exhale slowly and completely. Repeat at least 3-5 times. You should be doing this sort of thing anyway after surgery every couple of hours for the first week/10 days to both relax your diaphragm and to encourage your lungs to work well after surgery.

Make sure you're not drinking/eating too fast.

Take some antacids as well - if your doc didn't prescribe any, you can get the gas x strips (using 2 at a time is fine I think) or liquids like mylanta or chewables to relieve gas and acid stomach.

      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.
