Ok, I'm scratching my head on this one.

A way I have found recently to combat these long stalls and the weight loss that has slowed dramatically in the past months, I have gone to doing all liquid diet (mostly just broth, crystal light and sometimes diet pepsi wild cherry). It's been working to break the stall. Please no lectures that doesn't support long term healthy eating/ maintenance. I have a long history of sabatoging myself when I do really well on weight loss only to have it come to a grinding halt short of my final goal and puts me into a vicious cycle of lose/ gain/ lose/ gain. Yes, I am seeing a therapist and have been since before surgery. I am getting so close to my final goal, I can't bear to go through any sort of lose/ gain cycle.

So, here is my question that baffles me. Normally, I only get gas if I eat chocolate, Beans or pepperoni slices (don't understand that one). But, anyways, I find I have an abnormal amount of flatulence while doing the all liquid diet. They don't have an odor, just small noisy ones.

Anyone?

Same here! If I'm at work I will go to the bathroom and let it all out. Of course I check to make sure no one is there first. When I was drinking Slim Fast on a month long crash diet, the same thing happened when I had a natural stomach. I bought some Gas-X strips that dissolve on the tongue and it really helps stop all the gas I been having.

Thank goodness for soft squissy office chairs! I am afraid I might "toot" on the way to the bathroom. LOL

Right after surgery, when I was getting all the gas out, combined with the gas of being on a liquid diet, I turned to my best friend (who also happens to be my co-worker in our small office) and flat out said: "Look, I am going to sound like a barnyard animal for a few days/weeks...please still love me!" And we laughed it off and went on our way. I figured it was going to happen in front of her, might as well be up front about it!

LOL...I just talked with some of my co-workers yesterday. They are asking when I'll be back and how was I feeling.

Long story short, I told them great, some days really tired, and plenty of gas! They were guys and they just started laughing saying how fun I'll be when I return to working tooting along!
