Just curious if anyone else is experiencing excess gas? I am 11 days post RNY and have been experiencing just that. I notice it almost immediately after my protein. Shake, I am using bariatric advantage . Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms? Any solutions . I am still only on liquids! Thank you

Its pretty normal to have excess gas in the very beginning. It's actually a good thing. When I was in the hospital they told me that if I needed to pass gas or burp to just let it go. Be happy its happening!

If you are worried about the odor there is something called Devrom that will take care of that. You can get it off the internet.

I'm 5 days out of surgery. The gas is very loud and it hurts to push it out. I'm still very sore and just taking it 1 step at a time. Just getting my meds down is a choir. I finally slept most of the night so that was good. I can't lie down I have to sleep in a recliner because otherwise it feels like my incisions are pulling and it hurts.

I feel your pain! I used some smaller pillows under my belly for additional support. Try increasing your walking to help ease the passing of gas. Just keep drinking and drinking!

Thanks for the reminder. Just walked to the next house and back. I feel my one wound where the drain was pulling. It still is open and packed with gauze. This afternoon was good. This am I drank protein shake then took my meds. HUGE MISTAKE. I'll have to do that fist thing then wait 1 hour to drink protein shake or what ever I'm having for breakfast.

It is a deodorant for your intestines. Trust me this stuff is WONDERFUL. My husband does not let me run out ever! They make chewable and the capsule form. I don't care for the taste of chewable ones.

I'm on day 8 post op and still having gas. Mostly belching at this time.. Finally able to drink some protein drinks and tried 2 tbs of mass potatoes tonight. They tasted great. Stuck to the small amount pre my post op instructions. Can't wait til next week...Eggs!

Of you're hurting from it, the gas-x strips are excellent.

Thank everyone for all the great tips! You're the best!
