I've made it to the losers bench...I'm home
Hey there!! Glad to hear you made it to the "other side" with flying colors. You ARE doing good - believe it when everyone tells it to you.
I have no other advice on the whole gas issue other than what has been said - walk walk walk and gas ex if needed. I was allowed to have the chewables right after surgery and now they have the dissolvable strips (like the listerine strips) The more you move the more it will come out.
Stay close - we want to continue following the journey!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/thumbsup2.gif)

Hey Denise..welcome to the other side. you ARE doing great. Just take it easy and you will be fine. As Liz told me, you can drink mint tea, also, to help with the gas. SF popsicles will be your new best friend. I think I had one in my hand 10 out of the 12 hours I was awake during the day! LOL!
Just take it easy and on the better days, don't forget that you are still healing on the inside and that you still need to rest. I keep forgetting that part and end up exhausted at the end of the day. I have to stop that and take a nap during the day so I don't overdo it.
Keep us informed of your progress. You'll do great!
