After leaving the hospital I had really bad gas pains and I got Gas x chewable and it has helped but sometimes I still get really bad gas that causes cramping I am 8 days post op. Hope it will get better with time.

When everything else fails with the gas, walk and walk some more! I hope you feel better soon!

weird, i’ve had a hardish time with Water so i’m sure that’s part of it too.

I forgot to mention that sugar free flavor enhancers (flavor packs, mio, things along that line) help the water go down a lot smoother and less clunky for some reason

oh yeah that def helps!! i’ve been drinking a lot of chicken broth and today i tried the premier protein water raspberry flavored and drank a whole one. it was a little too sweet for me so i diluted it with water. one bottle is 16.9 oz and i cut it with water every time so i know i reached my goal of 32oz!!

How do you @ people ?

Nice! And I got so tired of chicken broth! I started using French onion soup (strained), and beefy onion soup (also strained). I haven’t tried any protein waters yet

I have no idea, it never works for me. That’s why I just quote whoever I’m replying to

@KRush88 Type @ and start typing persons name. A drop down menu will appear with names on, keep typing until you see persons name and click on it. Hit space bar and type your message. Make sure you hit space bar and don't click on persons name again after it is set. Somehow the you get locked in persons name and can't type if you do.
