Walk as much as you possibly can. If you are not walking, try sitting in a rocking chair or glider and rock/glide. When you rock forward, lean your upper body into it, cross your arms across your abdomen and press gently towards your back. Also, use a heating pad where you are feeling the gas pains.

Good luck!

I was just like you, and I would recommend taking a Phazyme pill. Simethicone is the ingredient that helps with gas and gas-x strips only have 25mg while the Phazyme has 180mg. The gas-x strips didn't help me at all while one Phazyme worked mirages! Try it, it's awesome!

I had the worst gas pains ever! I walked a ton at the hospital I didn't even pass any gas until right before I left the hospital (my surgery was a Thursday night and I left Saturday morning) My gas pains didn't actually go away completely until Monday. Walk, walk, walk! I actually noticed that I passed more gas if I was laying on my side

      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.
