facebro29 272 Posted October 7, 2016 I've had so many food intolerances before I had this surgery. Milk was a huge one. Having milk now and OMG it's settling my gas pains. Wow. Just went for a walk as well. It's cold outside and I think I have phlegm on my chest so trying to stay up as much as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paramedic 56 Posted October 7, 2016 GAS SUCKS - I was ready for heroin to stop the pain. Walking and moving made it better.... No joke walking is huge and really helps. Fluids drink slow and don't gulp...... Not to cold or sweet ----- it gets better I slept on my side last night with a pillow splint and slept like a baby Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
