Yes but it's always been that way for me. Note I can't stand the taste of social sweeteners after surgery

I am 5 days post op and I am sooooo gassy! The nurse said I can take gas x chewables and I have but they aren't helping much. I have always had issues with aspartame -I will need to read the labels on what I have bought-I bet that is an ingredient and part of the problem.

Check to see if your sugar free products contain sugar alcohols. Those are notorious for causing gas, bloating and diarrhea.

I cannot stand artificial sweeteners at all. I drink plain Water instead.

I actually think they taste almost over sweetened. I don't like the taste of anything that is too sweet, it all tastes weird to me. I simply stay away.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
