So even though I'm still a fresh post -op, there are things that you are going to discover on your own in between doctor visits. So last week I noticed that I was snacking and that is a big no no. Because I was at work I didn't pay too much mind to it until I got home. At this point I began thinking why am I eating every few hours and then I realized that my stomach was burning and every time I would eat, the burning would go away. Stupid me, I was not taking my anti acid medication(the liquid kind) I began re taking it and I was definitely helped reduced my intake. Please be careful, snacking will slow or stop your weight loss. Happy weight loss journey, God bless! EmmGem

OMG THE POST-UP GAS was no joke. The gas post -op got the point that it was unbearable, it traveled between both shoulder blades, I could not sleep and I was sooooo irritable, I'm sure you can relate. I'm going to get off topic for a bit and explain the remedy I used. So my parents are Salvadorian descent and they have a lot of believes that may make you wonder but that's ok, I'm glad to share this information that I do find helpful. When a woman gives birth, we know that her pores are opened and you need to be covered up with sock, a sweater and a hat. I did it minus the hat ...lol Because you are full of air due to open pores, they give post delivered mothers chamomile tea to sooth the bloating and gas. They give infants chamomile tea mixed with the formula to sooth colic's, I did it and I never burped my daughter and she never suffered from colic's. Back to me...I told my mother I was not feeling good, the pain of the gas was so bad that it began to travel to my neck. placed an icy hot patch and I felt some relief but not enough. She then suggested the chamomile tea which is caffeine free. I drank 2 of them very warm, one in the morning and one in the evening before going to bed, I sipped about 4 oz. The next morning the gas was gone and I mean GONE!!!!If by day 2 you still have the gas repeat the 2 cups of chamomile tea. I have been reading that people go 10 + days with this pain and I could not do it , so I decided to pass this useful information along. I hope this helps you on your road to weight loss. God bless!!!
