calicat Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Okay, since I started my pre-op diet - I have gas!!! All of us have it, or are going to have it right? What do we take? Do TUMS still work or do we need to take liquids? My family will thank you for the results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistyband Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I THINK you can take anything right now for gas, but once you have surgery you will probably have to find a liquid gas relief or Walking helps out a lot.....Hope this was helpful...Have a Blessed Day!! Good luck to your family,LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maytee Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 If you have gas now just wait until after the surgery. I had no idea I would become a professional burper! Holy Cow! For me it doesn't matter if I use a straw or not. Burping changes, it's a lot stronger and more of it. If this is the worst of it I can handle it. I wouldn't change the fact that I am happy to start to live a healthier life style. Maytee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ella Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I agree!! The gas-x strips seem to work the best for me. I can totally understand the one on one time with clients. Being a nurse it's hard to blame the patient...lol! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
