Gas-X, Should I Be Taking This 2 Days Out?



Recommended Posts

My doc said no to any gas meds, he wanted me to pass it naturally. Every time I felt a tightness in my chest, I walked. Within the first week, all has discomfort was gone.

I took it starting Day One. They gave it to me in the hospital; it was the meltable strips, though.

I was given gas strips in the hospital the day after surgery. Im assuming it helped because I had no problems with gas while taking them.

Walking is working best for me, as well as a heating pad. Let me know how you feel today!

Still lots of gas for me, the strips just arent cutting it. I just keep walking. I have the acid reducer too, but not sure if it makes a difference or not lol. I just want to melt some of this fat off! I lost like 30 lbs pre surgery, I havent weighed myself yet since Ive been home...

Anyone tried gas-x shortly post op?

I am12 days out and nothing helped with the gas except pulling my knees up to my chest. I read somewhere to drink peppermint tea. I am feeling muchhhh better...so hang in there.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
