MsShortyDee 160 Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I thought carbonated beverages were a no-no including ginger ale. I also see people singing the praises of Gas-X Strips, but my nurse said they are a band-aid for the gas when, in fact, the gas needs to come out not be suppressed. Thoughts?my nut said technically. Not to make it a habit. The gas c was not helping me. My two little sips did help get some the gas out. I know my body. My nut also said as long as it is not a habit. She was very happy that I could finally could get some of the gas out because I was in a lot of. Come to find out I had a new issue brewing MsShortyDee Edited December 17, 2016 by MsShortyDee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms. McCray2009 34 Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Well Everyone, Tomorrow morning is my big day! I'm really excited, I'm doing more cat napping than really sleeping, but I figured this was probably normal seeing how my adrenaline is pumping so much! I got on the scale yesterday morning, and with this clear liquid diet, I have already lost 11 LBS, from 266 down to 255. I can even tell in my clothing that I have lost weight. I know this is just the beginning of BETTER THINGS TO COME!!! YAY!! Task for today is to PACK my small bag for the hospital & big bag for my stay at my daughter's after leaving the hospital. I will do my best to check in with everyone BEFORE & AFTER and I continue to pray US ALL success on our journeys. Have an amazing day!!!
