I just had my surgery yesterday. The gas is slightly painful. I was wondering how many of you took chewable Gas X at this point? Since I'm only on liquids I was concerned if it's ok. Any advice from my now fellow bandits?

I didn't get any till day 3 post op and took them till day 5 (but if I had them day 2 I would have taken them). I'm finally feeling better today, day 6. But I think any walking you can do helps SO much!! Even marching on the spot if you can't get outside.

I used the one that dissolves on the tongue. I started right away because that gas was really, really, bad. It woke me during the night. I would get up walk around the house for 5 or 10 min. and go back to bed. 3 nights like that, no other pain or I wouldn't have made it.

I was banded 8/15, and i took gasx right away, you chew the heck out of them and they basically disappear. I know what you are going through. OMG.. thought the gas was the worst. And walk walk walk..as much as you can. by 3rd.day i was so good, i went to the store yesterday and had people over until midnight last night. each day will get better. I am still popping the gasx couple times a day. Good Luck!! you have a couple of days of bad before it gets good again!!

I started with the chewables on day one. AFter 4 days I learned about the "tabs" that dissolve on the tongue. They seem to work much faster. I am 7 days post surgery and still passing gas, and feeling very bloated most days. It seems to be getting better with each day that passes.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
