Oh, that's funny. Gas is the only side effect I have and I have just learned to live with it. My family and I were laughing about all the Gas I have last night. It can be horrible.

Have you tried Beano? I also do some cooking with stuff like celery. If you chop up some celery in small pieces and say cook it in with chili it will cut down on the gassiness for bean dishes.

would you believe ive had less gas since ive been taking meds to help with my bowels?? im not sure whats going on there.... usually bowel meds make things worse i thought?

Ive had quite a big of gas up until the last few days myself. i just assumed that a different diet, all that stuff, would mean that i had to just put up with it.. lol. im not sure whether we have to just accept it or whether it does go away. For the moment my meds are improving whatever is going on with me... and thats good.

      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.
