:lol: :lol: :lol:

not laughing at you, really

but you are in for some possible fun :lol:

some/many people have issues with gas post op!!!

the help/answer to that "situation" (gas)

is to walk, and walk, and walk - immediately in the hospital

it will help get rid of the gas

as far as "never trust a fart??" ;)

yep, thats true tooooo ;)

"butttttt", if these are the two worse problems you'll experience ..............

oh well it could be worse!!! :rolleyes:

many of us "lucky' people never experience gas or "sharting" :D

i was/am one of those people :)

ladies, good luck with surgery :)

speedy recovery

I think it is only a concern in the liquid/pureed stage of your diet. Once that is passed then we have Constipation to look forward too. I will be carrying extra undies and baby wipes with me for a bit lol

Explosive juicy poop-farts. Carry extra clothes in your bag just in case. At the slightest hint of interest in the bowel area, head for a toilet. :D

I was sleeved on Wednesday, March 19th and have been miserable since coming home. I am on full liquids, so I tried 2 oz of injury protien shake. Horrible grumbling started about 1/2 hour later then I was in the bathroom. Called the advisory nurse and they said it will take your body a while to adjust. Today I didn't take in any protien shakes or dairy and made surei took a clathrate before I ate anything and have been ok. I will try protien again tomorrow.

My issues with starting came after taking laxatives to relieve Constipation. Or if I had anything sugary. That was for about first year. Now I still get the bubblies if I drink something sugary but at least I don't shart

I wore strategically set sanitary napkins in my undies

I haven't had any issues with sharting yet "thank goodness" BUT, farting is an issue sometimes. Usually after Protein. I will be walking and all of a sudden out comes the fart. I just keep walking and pretend I didn't hear it and hope to God it doesn't smell! :wacko:

I have heard of this from a few others but it has never been a problem for me. However, I'm constipated most of the time :(

GasX strips are great early on. They dissolve on your tongue.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
