Um...gas Question...



Recommended Posts

Not surgery gas, but intestinal gas. :o

A co-worker (no WLS!) swears that your gas is worse forever after surgery and it's, not to be gross but, stinkier.

Please tell me this isn't true! I've heard that about bypass but not the sleeve. Say it ain't so!!

Ha ha ha , well, for most people this unfortunately is true, however it is not caused by the surgery, it is caused by a change in our eating habits, more whole foods less preservatives and such. Have you ever been around when a vegan cuts one loose? Don't even get me started on milk farts.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is just part of breaking down healthy foods.

I haven't noticed this at all. So maybe it depends on the person.

It's true. I never had stinky farts. Ever. Now I realize it's because I ate junk food. Already processed so my body never had to work at digesting. Now? Ha! Totally diff story. Phew.

Some people are lactose intolerant and don't know it. Try using whey Protein isolate, it's lactose free. And by the lactose free milk and see if that helps. If I take one swallow of regular milk or ice cream the pressure gets GREAT!

I have been.miserable the last few days. Horrible indigestion at first, and then the next day my stomach hurts like it did post surgery. I feel a hiccup and dread it because i know how bad its going to hurt. My stomach felt great and now all this pain & gas (i think). I just dont know what is going on. Does anyone have suggestions?

I take protonix and started gasx today. Has anyone had this?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
