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.

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

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
