Oh I also wanted to add that I go to parties, I hang out with friends and what not and have never had it interfere. My life is exactly the same except for my tummy and what I eat.

I had procedure April 10th and got masters may 10th. You can do it!

sleeved2012, that sounds like a good idea. I'll try that. Thanks!

walking is what helped get the gas out of me. even if it was just the little bit around my house after surgery. around day 4 it finally settled down. Im 8 days post op now and can still feel some gas in my left shoulder though. Just keep walking. Hope this helps a bit.

You are going to have to start slowly but you will be able to do it. I'm doing triathlons now and there are many doing half-marathons, etc. The key to carbs is to increasing gradually. Leading into a race I'm getting 200-300 carbs per day. PdxMan is a good resource for tips. He got me going with graham crackers which seem to be doing well for me. Watch for cramping by increasing you magnesium, sodium and potassium. Feel free to seek help here whenever you've got questions. We are figuring this out as we go
