    Mine did the same thing! So I called my surgeons office personally asked for his nurse we talked she called me back and we had surgery 2 wks to the day later 11/22/16... good luck sometimes you have to take the control yourself...

    Everyday is a challenge. Every meal is a question of "do i really want that?". Every month is a question of why am i not loosing more. When i look at myself in the mirror i cant see the difference. People keep telling me that i changed, but i cant see it. I went from a size 24 to a now 16/14 and im 7 month out. From 318 lb to 228lb. 90 lb difference that i cannot tell by looking at myself. Maybe its a good thing, it wakes me work harder at the gym, helps me make better decisions with my diet. This is the first time i compared pictures of my face....definitely looks like a different person attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1480485754.367522.jpg

    OH!

    Don't know if you all know about them, but the thing I found to help the gas pain that worked the best are Gas-X strips that dissolve on the tongue. I found mine at CVS near the antacids, but have seen them at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc. attachicon.gif 20161122_174634.jpg

    Thanks for reminding me. I need to pick up a pack before Friday.
    It didn't help me day 2, but I'm about to try it again.

    I am 4 days out and terribly constipated. Does anyone have a suggestion???

    I found I had to take them much more often than the recommended dose. My surgeon didn't have a problem with it, but I'd definitely check with yours so they're aware.

    I'm going home today, thankfully. I feel much, much better compared to yesterday. I wasn't sure yesterday would ever end, but it did. Just kept reminding myself that time takes time.

    How are you feeling today?

    I'm 6 days post-op and you're definitely a happier camper than me.

    My doctor's office doesn't mind about gas-x. I bought two boxes but since they didn't help at the beginning I sort of wrote them off. Do you take them regardless or when you're uncomfortable? BTW, I hate mint, so it's a big deal to put one on my tongue

    So glad you are going home today!
