I am 6 weeks post op. Down 35lbs. Very happy with that! My issue is my stomach feels bloated all the time. I don't know if it's what I'm eating or something else. Anyone else having issues with this?

I felt like that til I took milk of magnesia. Apparently it was gas and I needed to clean out my bowels.

I'm about 10 weeks out and I also have started to have more of a bloated stomach and find I can't eat as much from a few weeks ago.

I actually called my surgeon about this last week. I am 5 weeks post op as of tomorrow, and last week had one day when I felt terrible. Bloating and a burning pain in the lower left of my abdomen. Anyway, my surgeon suggested that I stay away from milk and see if that helped. I had mixed a Protein shake with skim milk that morning, and he hit it right on the head - pain is gone, never returned, and I am much much better. I can get away with low fat cheese, and yogurt doesn't seem to bother me, I just think for some reason I can't tolerate milk anymore. I hope you feel better!!!
