Got a call from the surgical scheduler this morning, and my date is set for July 11th! I was hoping it might be sooner, but not surprised it worked out this way. Means I will be starting my liquid diet while I'm traveling for work - so that will be interesting. I'm also wrestling with not having our annual 4th of July BBQ at my house (which is in a prime location for watching fireworks) - maybe I'll just have ppl over for fireworks but avoid smelling burgers on the grill all day.

Anyone else have a July date set? Wanna support each other through the next weeks?

Good for you with the isopure I can only have a few sips of water before I am full and don't want to continue. Im gonna look into the protein shots someone mentioned that they bought off amazon. That way I get the protein but don't have to drink a lot with it because it gets dreadful

U wanna keep liquids coming in tho - ward off dehydration. I sip all day long.

My pee is super clear with the water and broth. Still have bad gas I feel it moving around but doesn't come out. I had some nice burps but most my gas pain is low I tried rocking a little to work the gas put and nothing and one do anything to help aid that? Also I read pain medication binds people up and makes them constipated

Yes on the pain meds/constipation.

Not sure abt the lower gas pains

How much did u walk Aviva to get it out? I mean im walking but not like around the block

I'm scheduled for thurs. so you guys advise against the gas-x?

I would it truly is the only pain.... Gas x I feel keeps it in dont take it just have ear plugs and chap stick

I would say no. I needed to pass gas in order to get relief from the pain. Make sure you have an ice pack and a heating pad!!!!!

Where do u put heating packs and ice packs ladies?

I put the heating on my shoulder because I had gas trapped and it hurt sooooooo bad and ice on my tummy.

I agree gas x did nothing for me either. It is simethicone and suppose to break up the bubbles , but I found walking worked much better. One thing no one told me about was that I was not going to be able to put my bra on to go home. Still have not put it on as one of my incisions is right on the band line. Not sure what I will do when I go back to work on Monday. Probably a tight camisole under my shirt. So glad I have my own office !

I walk a block or so several times a day.

I have been wearing a sports bra since the night of my surgery. It has helped a lot. I just make sure the band is pulled up high enough to not touch the upper most incision. Before that my boob was pressing on the incision and causing pain.

I know this is gross but I just farted two times and I am thrilled....can't wait for this damn gas to get the heck out! Also my mom is in the process of making me some tomato soup and I ate one of my multi vitamin t

Gummies.

Sounds like heaven to me! Lol!! Enjoy your tomato soup!!!!

I have a little party every time I burp or fart these days.
