Hey guys,

Quick question for you. I had my surgery on Monday and tried yogurt for the first time today. I usually just do the cottage cheese but decided to try something different. Right away, my stomach started gurgling and making noise and then came the expelling of gas (sorry TMI - I know...so attractive lol)

should I try it again or not? is it good that it’s helping me expel gas or is it giving me more gas?

Just had bypass Tuesday and can’t seem to get the upper body gas pains to calm down. Hurts to breath at times. Has anyone taken Gasx or the like this early one? I’m afraid to eat anything

Pink Nova, same thing happens here. I feel like I’m always gurgling and when I eat it gets louder. I also have gas. Upper body though, in my back. I did hear that sometimes with these surgery’s we can develop lactose intolerance for a while so maybe that’s what’s happening

Thanks for your input! You are probably right. Right now I look like I’m 9 months pregnant with a gas baby lol

OMG me too. I even have the sweats on that I came home in after having my son! My clothes don’t even come close

Hahaha fun times! My 5 year old pointed to my belly and said “yay you’re having a baby!” Lol

I’m 17 days out & feel the same way! I can tell that I have lost weight in my sides but my stomach is all bloated! I’m taking GasX 4 times a day. I also feel constipated most of the time. Started stool softens this week.

Have you tried the milk of magnesia??? I was constipated and took it one night, a few hours later I was all cleared up. It didn’t even cause any stomach pains or cramps.

I’m still feeling the bloat and gas from the yogurt and it’s been over 12 hours since I consumed it! So annoying!!!
