Ugh, for some reason today I woke up with gas, not the icky smelling stuff lol but like after we had our banding surgery. It won't go away no matter what. Its making me feel so bloated and my stomach hurts.. :( I've had this several times and nothing seems to help, not even walking. Does anyone else get like this randomly? I need a cure! any suggestions or feedback are greatly appreciated.

 

on another note, struggling to decide on a cardio kickboxing class or to sign up for the fitness bootcamp again. need to make up my mind by Saturday either way. decisions decisions

I have had gas off and on since surgery and sometimes it is bad and I feel very bloated. I swear by Gas-x I carry it with me everywhere. There are sometimes I may take it several times a day and I can go weeks and never need it. I prefer the strips that are mint or cinnamin that you place under your tongue and I also take Prilocex daily. I tried to stop taking the Prilocex but had to add it back. I also notice if I eat protein bars with sugar alcohols or just protein drinks that sometimes I have more gas. I honestly think it is due to the size of our stomachs and the slower rate that the food passes through but have nothing to back that up. Good luck and I wish I could say the gas went away but I am 1 year out (almost) and it is still there.

Your right gas-x strips are a life saver... i sometimes will take two or three one after another when the gas is so bad. Give that a try and see if it is any better. Good luck:)
