Okay, don't laugh. But I have had bad smelly gassy farts since surgery. It is especially bad at night. I am embarrased by this and hate when my husband walks in the room and asks what smells. I try to blame it on my son, great mom huh, but I am sure my husband knows. So here is my questions. Is it common? I know gas can be but people are vague wether it is stomach gas or butt gas. How do I get rid of it. I do have gasex but again thought it is more for stomach gas. I do not eat a lot of foods that usually cause gas so I have no idea where it is all coming from. Giggles are okay, kinda a funny subject to me. But help is much needed. thanks

The Protein Shakes and sugar free stuff like Jello and pudding give me mad gas. Gas-x helps butt gas. I gave it to my husband the other night haha. If it makes you feel any better, it's good that you're getting it all put because you'd feel miserable if all that built up in your tummy. Hope you get some relief soon!

I agree tengles...I blame it on my boys also...and boy it gets bad! lol I've noticed that the more artificial sweetener I have, the more gas I have...I've heard other people say that sweeteners are the trouble makers here, but not an expert, just know what happens here.

      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.
