Ok so the 20th was surgery. I expected the gas and pain etc. didn’t think I was different from anyone else in that are.

But I think it was Monday I took some MOM for Constipation. Had extremely loose no form tiny movement.

Then Wednesday I was allowed more food choices so I added in bits here and there as allowed etc.

the problem being I feel very bloated and gasy and I took more MOM and nothing.

Anyone know what to do or had this before

As you transition to new food groups, your body may react differently to them. When I started eating Beans, my gas levels went way up.

Also there is a phase, luckily it is a short phase which is best described as "Never Trust A Fart".

Milk of Magnesia isn't going to help gas though, you'll want Beano, GasX or some other gas specific, Milk of Magnesia is a laxative, so it's going to help with constipation, it also acts as an antacid. But not as a gas reducer.

GasX and walking. My dietitian suggested that I make it a habit to take a 10-15 minute walk after every meal which helped me tremendously. It's a big experiment right at first to figure out what food works and what doesn't so just take it slow.

I think I just might do that walk after each meal. Not sure I can do the ten minutes yet still in a lot of pain but for five I can do

And gradually 5 minutes will👣 become👣,10, 10 becomes 👣20 and almost without effort you will make it to a👣 half hour. Be patient with your body, down deep it still wants to be,your friend even if you did play such a nasty trick is with the surgery!👣

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
