Gas....What also helps are menthol capsules from the health food store, in a pinch peppermint candies will also do. Sounds simple right? It does work. While walking is the best and will help eliminate gas, if you are really feeling poorly lying on your side (left side is best for eliminating gas), or hands and knees and moving your legs will also help. I am not sure how good this will be immediately post op but could be something once our abs feel better. Take care all.

Hey jetdeck, It was good sharing a cab with you back to the airport. Sorry about the gas, I can relate though. The firts day home was a killer for me as between leaving the hotel and driving home it was a 14 hour day, slugging luggage to the car stunk, even though I had packed light, I was tired and a bit sore. I would see if you could find a better protien suppliment than slimfast, one of the main ingredients is high fructose corn syrup which is killer, the body can't process it proper and it doesn't allow for feelings of saiety (fullness). Check it out on Google. I am afraid I do know a lot about nutrition and should not have got overweight to begin with but here I am, working at changing my results. One of the protiens my naturapath has me on, long before I started this process is Medi-Clear by Thorne...It tastes like crushed up vitamins but is filling and is full of nutrients. I believe this one is even on the approved list supplied by the center. I was hoping to see some kind of results since I started this process, only 14 days ago, but agree that the weight won't come off overnight. Best wishes to all!
