Walk, walk, walk and walk some more. I took Gas-X, but don't think it did anything for me - the walking was the best thing for me

I really didn't feel like walking or gas-x did me any good. Didn't hurt or anything, but didn't seem to speed anything up. Different strokes and all that

You have to walk, walk, walk, and walk some more.

Same for me. For some reason I found I could relieve the gas easier when I was laying prone on the couch watching TV.

I'll echo the walking, walking, walking comments... Gax X helped relieve the gas in my stomach, but not gas trapped in my body from surgery. A heating pad helped a bit too..

I did a lot of walking but I also found riding along in the car with my seat leaned back and my feet up on the dash board helped shake it all up lol really helped me.

There's a common theme here & everyone is right. I started walking 2 hours after surgery & every so often while in the hospital. Then, all over my house. It definitely helped. It does eventually go away!

Walking is the best therapy for this. Gas-X would work just fine. But, don't continue to walk much if you feel pain. Lie down, relax, ease up then walk some more.

Hey, if the walking isn't cutting it for ya gas wise......no matter, it's the best thing for DVT (clots) prevention anyway. Another little trick I used for gas. I have a adjustable bed, so I raise the feet and turn on the vibrator. Works great.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
