I would like to get some feedback on what kind of OTC things you guys are buying to treat gas, indigestion, pain and what kind of vitimans do you take?My surgery is Jan 24 and I want to have the house stocked so my hubby doesn't have to run out in the middle of the night for something. My post op instructions are no pills!!!!!Thanks to all who reply.Also feedback on what Protein supplements you like and don't like would be helpful. Please tell me where you buy the meds and supplements also.Thank you!

Gas X Strips are AWESOME! liquid Tylenol works exceptionally well. Also, I chew Flintstones Vitamins and those caramel calcium chews. My doc told me to get a pill crusher and add my Flintstones to OJ or grape juice. As far as the Calcium chews, they fairly well melt in your mouth. Walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid, Walmart, KMart, Target, etc all have these items.

Good idea is to read the monthly post-op boards. I post in December 07 under Roberta's surgery. I was just operated on yesterday. Good luck ;)

I don't have any scabs? I have been sitting in the tub with it up to my hips but not near my scars. It's not a full bath, but it's still nice- especially with period cramps!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
