I thought it was just me. I am not 3 months out, I am only 1 month out. I have never had gas like this in my life. I don't do the passing of it around my hubby, but since this surgery, I have been apologizing for my manners(passing of the gas). He don't mind, but its a thing that I would prefer to be alone when it happens. this feeling is so bad, sometimes I dont know if its gas or something else. Sorry if its to much information.

I have tried my gasX too, but no relief.

I will be checking in on your blog again to see what others posts.:unsure:

:unsure: I am so glad I don't feel alone!! I have always had lots of gas issues, but I was banded on 6/7/10 and the gas has elevated!! I am curious as to why this occurs. I don't drink carbonated sodas either!!:unsure:

Is that why my left shoulder aches? I wasn't warned about that side effect.

Thanks for sharing!!

OMG! I was wondering the same thing. A friend told me that Protein gives gas. I'm not sure but I sure have a lot more than before surgery, I am 2 months post-op. Will it ever stop?:unsure:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
