At church tonight, I had just the meat from a grilled hamburger that had Dale's seasonings on it. Now I have gas so bad I can't move it. Can I take a rolaids or pepto bismol??????:cursing:

Someone please hurry with an answer. It late and I need to go to bed. I can't walk all night.:thumbup:

You can take Gas-X. I don't know about the Pepto. I think it has aspirin and I think that is a no-no. I think the rolaids is like Gas-X and should be okay.

However, I have been filled with gas a few times and the only thing that worked for my was a heating pad. I know it is so painful. I would have never believed that a heating pad would work but it did. I hope you feel better.

You may want to check with your Dr in the A.M. so if it happens again you have some choices. By the way its NSAIDS that you are not to take. So you should be okay.

I had run out of the Gas-X and since I live in a rural area (Walgreens is 15 miles), I didn't want to go out that late. I didn't take the rolaids but intend to call doctor and get some more Gas-X today! Thanks for your help.

Gas-X-Strips. Make sure to take 3 or 4 of them. Many people take just 1, and that doesn't work. If you read the box it tells you.

Hope you get better soon.

Feeling great tonight. Doctor said to take the Gas-X and follow the directions on the box. I won't eat another hamburger for a long time! It might have been the Dale's seasoning but since I haven't eaten beef yet, it could have been a rejection from my body. I know it doesn't like cheese anymore. Back to chicken & fish. Thanks for the help.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
