So fun side effect of surgery is being a lot less regular than I was, and a side effect of that is having gas. Daily, loudly, and odiferously. I don't like being around myself at the moment.

Does anyone have any remedies, foods to avoid, etc? Gas-X isn't helping, and chlorophyll tablets don't do much either.

Also, I'm down 110 pounds and my gut is still there. I've been eating a bit more (around 1000 calories a day) even though a lot of that is Snacks that aren't necessary. Hungry again, which totally sucks. I thought it would be much longer before I felt hungry again. Anyone have trouble getting rid of that guy, and did you finally manage it? Anyone got any tips for managing hunger?

Your body should be hungry to fuel up. Is it head hunger? Additional carbs will tend to make you feel hungrier too. Like all who have said before me, stick to the Protein first. Hope this helps!

And congrats on your loss! That's awesome.

Are you doing Protein shakes? They tend to give gas to some people who are or have become lactose intolerant after surgery. And if you're not drinking them, you should!! They keep you fuller longer. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I'm doing Quest bars as my Protein supplement. I have found that drinks keep me full longer, or at least take longer to consume. After all that liquid diet, though, I really enjoy chewing these days. I've been considering going back to shakes for a while, at least one per day, to see what happens.

I also just stopped eating tortillas, which has become a staple. For a while

I was essentially eating two tiny turkey tacos a day, one for lunch and one for dinner. I eliminated the tortilla for lunch, and switched to lettuce for dinner.< /p>

Long story short I had a house fire on New Year's Day and haven't had a chance to hop on my scale since. I hoping I'll feel better if I can confirm I've continued to lose weight over the last couple weeks. Meantime, I don't feel much like congratulating myself. I feel like I'm letting bad habits, i.e. snacking, back in, even if my calorie count is still at 1000.

if you're into the taco thing, you can crisp some cheese in the microwave and shape it into a taco shell. It's really yummy and will keep your carb count low

Oh no! I'm so sorry about the fire. It seems like added stress triggers the bad food habits? Do you have a hobby or a goal (non food/weight) that you can turn your attention to? Exercise is a great stress reliever. Again, You've done a phenomenal job thus far, you can always pick right back up and keep going. I'm rooting for ya!

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
