Gas x strips for sure. If I could go back, I'd bring a blanket.

Happy to help! I fly home from Mexico tomorrow. Just had my drain tube out. That wasn't fun lol. But those and drinking from a cup a not a Water bottle have made a big difference too. You don't realize how much air gets in the bottle and it hurts after you swallow and feel it bubble up. My new night nurse said to try it out of a glass and NO Bubbling or chest pressure is happening now.

I have a giant shark whose my cuddle buddy (his name is BLÅHAJ from Ikea lol) the hydrocodone they gave me from the hospital and gas-x strips. Oh and sugar free popsicles! Water is hard to get down and Jello makes me gag, but man those popsicles were such spirit lifters (got them day 2 of recovery). I also have a really fluffy blanket. I just recommend any soft cuddly things and stuff to ease the pain. (Popsicles, don't forget the popsicles lol).

In all seriousness though, walking is the best way to minimize the gas pain. Force yourself to walk!

I'm gonna do my best to walk but my knees are pretty screwed. I hope I can do it. Though if they've got me on pain meds I probably won't feel my knees.

Well, I don't know about your surgeon and hospital, but I was forced to get up and walk the halls every couple of hours the next morning after surgery. It really helps with the pain. I hope your knees aren't bothering you too much so you can get some walking in. But yeah, maybe the pain meds will minimize it a bit ;)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
