I'm still in the liquid stage but I still have so much gas by just drinking water... I also still get queasy when I'm drinking anything as well. I'm a week and a day post-op and it's getting so frustrating. It's impossible for me to get in 64oz or even 75g of protein because of the gas and queasiness.

In regards to taking the acid reducing meds, my doc said I only will have to take them for a few weeks, so no it shouldn't be for life:)
