Flatulent and fretful



Recommended Posts

I think of it as a grandpa odor. My occurrences of gas aren't too frequent, but everyone once in a while my stomach feels like churning boulders looking for an escape.


For me the gas in the day was really painful. Then by night when I’d lay down and my body relaxed they’d all start letting loose. Most satisfying feeling ever.

Haha! Yes. It does feel good when it releases!

I've been doing pre op diet of shakes and my gas is already killing the family. It can't possibly get worse smelling than it is. I guess I'm just prepping them. Maybe I'll get my 6 year old to sleep in her own bed.




LOL! Way to find a silver lining! I didn't have a problem when I was eating one shake a day before surgery....things have calmed down considerably since the original post...although I still have quite a bit of gas and it's still pretty bad but either it is less awful or I've become used to the new smell...guess You'd have to ask my wife! I'm sure it will change again as I reintroduce food to my system but whether it will get better or worse remains to be seen!

I'm 3 months out, and I fart HORRIFICALLY at the end of the day! Worst gas smell ever. But I'm living with it.

      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! 😞
