You should try shopping for the gas x strips on Ebay or drugstore.com... You may be able to get some shipped to you relatively quickly.. I hope this helps!!

Omg that is a great idea thank you,

It's hard to keep up with everyones posts. This site is getting bigger and bigger. I'm glad everyone is doing ok so far. I only have 3 days left. I think I'm getting to the nervous point. My pre-op diet has been terrible. I can't lie. Good luck on those getting sleeved today. God be you all.

Day two and I'm feeling decent. Pain is actually a little worse than yesterday. I have gas pain in my shoulder that I didn't have yesterday. Yesterday I was able to get in about 60 oz of liquid. Getting discharged in about 15 minutes. Not really looking forward to the 90 ride home. I'm just thankful I don't have to fly home.

I was able to see pics of the surgery. It was pretty interesting. I think I'm going to ask if I can take them home for a souvenir.

Minime...try infant wind drops. It's the same active ingredient, simithicone. In tablets they are 80mg I think, and the strips are 60mg. So you would just use whatever amount equals about that.

Well it's nearly bedtime here in Scotland and I'm so proud of myself completing my first day pre op diet.

I know it doesn't seem much but for me this is a big achievement :P There was even a big yummy cake in work today and I managed to say no.

Fingers xed for the next 13 days.......

You guys! I started my pre op liquid diet today (day 1 of 3). Going to the bathroom nonstop and headachey and craving solid food. Also reminding myself that this is for a good cause. Surgery is Friday morning! I'm so excited and scares and nervous and happy! It's an emotional roller coaster.

I just found out that I am to be a March sleever, too. I just got off the phone with the surgeon's office, and 3/25 is my date. My doctor is in the "lose weight before surgery" group, and I am having trouble with that. And I'm really, really anxious about this. Glad to see I'm not alone! Best wishes to everyone!!

Jilliemay...im feeling the same way. I go in on thursday for my surgery and im freaking out. You just have tp try to remember that it is going to be so worth it when we are healthy and skinny. A friend of mine that had the surgery told me there is nothing to it. Its not that painful your more so just tired until your body gets used to less food. Keep ur head up. We will do fine

Y'all. We post A LOT! Lol. I was trying to continue for BigDaddyJoe, but with all the final exam essays I am grading, I have to admit (difficult to do) that I just can't keep up right now. Anyone able?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
