The Gas We Pass.....

[fostermomma 39]

I just got approved for surgery for Septemeber 7th(yay me!) and have a question about my pre-op diet. 3 weeks out I have to drink 2 high protein/low carb shakes a day plus one sensible meal. Will the shakes cause gas? I drank Slimfast a long long time ago and it gave me horrible, disgusting, terrible gas. I literally could not stand to be in the same room as myself. Does anyone know if these shakes do the same thing or is it different entirely? I really do not want to relive my childhood where, at my house, farting was considered a competitive sport! Anyone have any thoughts on this not so great subject?

Sincerely,

fostermomma who hopes to NOT have to change her screen name to pottie pooterson!

You might have to change your name to that after you get the band anyway. For some reason postband a lot of people seem to produce more gas. Sometimes it comes out of the top end, sometimes it comes out of the other.

I never have this problem, but i'm so sorry.....

All Protein Shakes do that to me, which is why i avoid them
