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?

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
