Ok, I get that everyone has gas from abdominal surgery. I'd had it before and it sure didn't last this long. I'd like to blame it on fatty food but by far the largest part of my diet is protein shakes right now so that's not it. I am really hoping that I'm not going to go from being fat to being a permanent gas bag lol. Yuck!

I was just reading a book i bought on RNY last nite and it was saying how after bypass, we have more gas, more frequently, and bad smell, and more forceful...LOL, I didnt write it, just sayin'......its because our intestines are shorter...

Funny enough, it's the protein!!!! Protein, especially whey protein, makes you gassy.

All I know is this has to stop I feel like a freaking balloon!

I'm the same way. It sucks.

Highest Weight: 511lbs Pre Surgery: 435lbs Current Weight: 397

They talk about how great you are going to look but no one tells you that no one will ever want to come near you again lol

I'm going to try adding yogurt in. Their are a number of posts out there on the internet where people were helped somewhat by probiotics. I'll try anything, this sucks.

What's the name of the book please?

I am 14 months post op and have bad gas still. I have however found out how much my husband loves me. Any man that still loves a woman after some of these smells is a keeper.

With that being said get online and buy devrom. It is an internal deodorant that works wonders. I don't know how it works but trust me it works. When I told my hubby I was almost out of them in casual conversation he got online and quickly ordered me two bottles.

Love that phrase," gas bag." I feel like that daily and still take gas x! My husband says he wants his lady back cause this is not ladylike lol it's sooooo bad and I'm ashamed of how relieved I feel after it finally starts moving..notice I didn't flat out say I'm ashamed that I enjoy farting.

At 9 months post op I am convinced that flatulence will be an ongoing issue, no matter what foods are eaten. It is frustrating. But I prefer extra farting and being thinner to farting less and being fatter.

Several sources I read recommended yogurt or a probiotic. I ate yogurt today AND took a probiotic and I will say it's better. I still feel bloated but at least I dont feel like someone could tie a rope around my waist and fly me in the Macy's parade in November!
