Another Gas Question!

What I'm wondering is all this gas we get postop that must come out while we walk, are we strolling down the hospital halls tooting away? And what about roommates - are we just letting those farts rip loud and clear? I guess if I have a choice between pain or letting it out, I'm all for sounding like Farty Franny.

Lolol this made me giggle! I didn't really have that kind of gas until day3-4. My gas was mostly lodged in my chest and shoulder.

OMG You should change your name to FFranny on here Joni.. you crack me up!

I don't remember being uncontrollably gassy. I DO remember feeling bloated.

Let's just say not great experiences while I was on flagile but I had that for pneumonia and a leak. Yuck I WILL be "allergic" to flagile forevermore!

My gas took a day or two to start coming out. I was in the bathroom & had a private room. When it started, I didn't think it was going to stop. I laughed so hard & it just kept coming out. But boy did I feel better when I was done. Let it out when it needs too! Walking does help.... :rolleyes:

I believe the gas that most people are talking about in the beginning is the kind trapped in the chest and shoulders. Moving around helps to dislodge it. I can't speak about the "tootie" kind of gas, I never had that. And as far as room mates, I don't think they do that any more. HIPPA and all you know. I know they don't here anyway. They won't even allow two children from the same family to room together because of privacy laws. Crazy but true.

Lol Mine didnt start until id been home a few days and so when I had some friends and family come over, the first thing I told them is be prepared to hear me toot. After 3 days of being bloated beyond belief when those toots started coming I didn't care who was around---I was getting that air out of me as soon as I could!!

I did more burping than farting, truthfully. I have heard that you should never trust that a fart will be "only" a fart, so keep that in mind.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
