OMG...I am almost 5 months post op and I eat lots of Protein and the gas that I have is crazy! I can keep it under control all day but it seems like when I get home it wants to come out. My kids are cracking up and now my husband is looking at me like a freak of the week. :) How long does this gas last in your body? Will I continue to have gas? Its getting embarassing..:)

Girl, I am wondering the same thing!! I am only a month post op, but I have gas every single morning, and at night, I can feel and hear my tummy rumbling. I do not drink with straws, so that is not the cause, the gas from surgery is suppose to be gone after a few days I was told. (?) I don't want to have to take gas x for the rest of my life either...I would love to know how to get rid of it too!!!

Certain Protein shakes can cause this. You might want to try to switch to a different Drink.

They do sell bean-o, and other pills to disolve Gas. Similar to having to much soap suds in your washer, and you pour in Fabric Softener to cut the soap.

That's all I could think of, but it works on that order.

Good Luck !

I read that you could take antacid, but check with md first, at least you found a way to get peace and quiet for yourselftarget.gif , I take 1/2 tums if after taking my meds bothers me.

I'm 6 years post-op and still fart like a freak. For me, I think it is all the fruits, veggies, and Protein. All that roughage causes gas.

I'm 5 weeks out and its horrible! I did get these little green pills at Wal-Mart (Equate Extra Strength Gas Relief) and they're miracle workers. Gas-X strips are more for the gas in your stomach, but the little green babies get rid of the farts!

      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.
