i know what you are going through. my belly was hard and distended as well. I had lots of intestinal gas which crippled me some days. i had problems with BM as well... it was not an easy time. i found that once i reached about three weeks post op that things moved quickly to settle again, which was great. Good on you for using the treadmill... way to go. This period will be gone before you know it. I know how miserable i felt for a while. Also, before i forget, I was using skim milk when i was making up my shakes. Before, ive never had milk at all. In fact i dont think cows milk is good for us, but anyways... i started using it in the shakes. My goodness, i had so much bad pain that i thought my gall bladder was acting up . i had to go to bed really early one night, think it all through what could i have done wrong? i knew it was to do with what i was eating and drinking. Then i remembered about the skim milk and stopped it immediately. Within 24 hours the pain had gone. that was a lesson for me. I still need to use laxatives, that will take a while i think. Ive never heard of the enzyme for digestion that you mention here... where did you buy it?/

I know the feeling. I got banded on Tuesday and my belly feels really bloated. I feel gassy. Walking and drinking lots of Water is helping move things along. How much water are you having? It's weird because on the pre op diet my BMs were incredibly painful and hard. Now they are very loose. Sorry if TMI. Lol.

I can't wait til we are on regular foods and things normalize in our bodies again.
