Yup, normal. Gas X helps and walking, even if it is up and down the hallway in your house. Walk several times a day.

My largest incision hurt for quite a while. Were you given pain meds? I was given liquid Tylenol w/codeine.

Were you given anything for the nausea? If not, call your surgeon. Maybe he can call something in to your pharmacy. No need to feel bad if something can help you.

This too shall pass, feel better!

I was sleeved on Thursday and still have a little gas pain in my shoulder. I've been using Gas-X Strips, which also help with the gas-related nausea. If the doctor gave you Zofran or any other anti-nausea that should be helpful too. I never thought farting would be so important! :-)

It gets better every day. I had awful gas pains in my shoulders. By one week post op they were almost null. Warm tea and warm Soup and walking around a bit seemed to really help. U have to release it as gross as that may seem. Good luck. Speedy recovery.

Thanks you guys are making me feel better. I do have oxycodone for paim and a pill for nausea. Some of the gas is starting to come out the other end which i think is a good sign.

      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.
