Adjusting to food -- gas anyone?

[hiddnstar 167]

Has anyone experienced trouble with your system adjusting to the different food stages for healing?

Specifically, I am moving from Clear Liquids to full liquids as of today. I am worried that I will develop more intestinal gas (not surgery gas) as my body tries to adjust to the different food.

Sunday I will be at a social event, a small group meeting indoors...plus a long car ride down with two other people. I wont go if I have a lot of intestinal gas or am likely to have it when we go out to dinner (I'll have broth).

Gas X helped this morning.

Thank you for any and all responses!

I hear you!

Protein really seems to set mine off along with drinking to fast (too much air?).

I think everyone can hear my insides. It is like an earthquake with multiple after shocks. I have found it is somewhat better when I take the gas ex right after I finish my Protein intake. I hope our systems adjust. I am only on week one. I am contending with post op gas trapped along with intestinal gas. It really hurts at times and can be more vocal than we would like. Hang in there.

Not to put too blunt of a point on the matter, but I feel like I could power the entire Gulf Coast with the amount of gas I have had since surgery.

It gets better, but I am still prone to a spontaneous "toot" now and then when laughing really hard or if I bend over at the waist. My 8 year old niece finds this hilarious.

i need to understand this. is the gas coming up from mouth or back? im getting banded in 10 days

The backside.... Burping becomes difficult with the band, especially after a few fills.
