My surgery was 3/10/17, and since December I have had 5 occurrences in which I experience severe gas pain, or so I hope it's gas..This pain is so intense that it takes my breath away and nothing helps it, not walking, sitting, laying, trying to pass gas, gas x strips, nothing, I just have to wait for it to pass. Typically it lasts about 3-4 minutes. The first 2 times it happened it was after I tried drinking a beer, yes, I know, I am not supposed to drink it, so I have sworn off beer forever now.. Last week and today it happened again, after I drank my Premier Protein, which I have been drinking about 4-5 times a week since surgery. Has anyone else had this happen? The pain is localized to right around my ribs...Am I drinking too fast?

Some places in the US as cheap as $8500. Unfortunately few and far between. Still cheaper in,Mexico, Dr Illial seems to be popular.

I was 304 before the pre-op diet
At surgery I was 296 (down 8)
A month out I was 268 (down 28 from surgery)
As of last Tuesday, which is 7 weeks out I was 257 (39 since surgery, 47 since pre-op)
It has been a bit lumpy with a big loss initially, then level, then small losses and now its speeding up again. According to my program they would expect 15 - 30% of excess body weight to be lost as of my 6 week checkup. I was at 23% lost, so right in the middle of the pack. I had been eating a fair bit, 1,100 calories daily, but after talking to my nutritionist switched to only having a snack when I'm hungry VS forcing it, so now I don't snack (no hunger) and am averaging around 600 -700 calories a day and 80g of Protein. I get exercise 3 - 4 times a week and am generally active. I'm very happy with progress and am now at a weight I haven't seen in 10 years.
