So I went shopping today for some things I figure would be helpful after surgery. For baby spoons and baby bowls with lids. Found these cool baby food containers that are flexible plastic to go from fridge to freezer. Plus they are pink- this is very important lol.

Went to get gas ex but they didn't have the strips so I got chewables. Will these be ok right after surgery? Planning to take them to hospital in case of bad gas issues. Just wondering if anyone has used the chewables after surgery?

I used the chewables with no problems, I also found sleeping in my lazy boy helped the first few nights, couldn't lie down at all.

I used Gas X chewables right after surgery with no problems at all. I actually tried the strips and they did not work nearly as well as the chewables did. I also had to sleep in my lazy boy for about the first 2 weeks.

I still carry the chewables at 5 months. The strips don't work as well IMO. I also slept in the recliner for about two weeks with a heating pad. It was the greatest!

Pink is my signature color! :D

Thanks for all the replies.... we do have a recliner but I typically hate it since it rocks when not reclining. I have short legs (I'm all torso at 5'9) which don't reach the floor in it and the rocking makes me nervous. We'll have to see if I use it after surgery or not. I do love my heating pad, though I'll need to remember to take it home from work. I keep it in my desk since i get so cold here.

      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.

      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!
