When does the gas go away? That gas that makes you feel hungry, but you're really not hungry because it's GAS??? Ugh! The GasX strips help, but will I have to take them for the rest of my life?

It does get better about 2 weeks out, hang in there and as Tiffy said never trust a fart early out.lol

7 pounds lost! Yay for you. I am so happy for you. I obviously cannot tell you when the gas goes away but am so looking forward to finding other's replies. I will tell you I complained to Dr. Campos about the same thing. Told him I was starving and my stomach was grumbly. He said it was gas and would last 7-14 days. Holy moly!

I am so proud of you weight loss so far. I have nothing but I blame it on the lack of a bm and all the gas. I am so excited to watch your progress. xoxo to you, and your beautiful family!

Bahahaha!! Tiffy is so right!! I'm glad to know that the gas is temporary.

Jennifer, the 7 pounds was what I lost during my preop diet. I haven't weighed since a week ago Monday, I don't even own a scale. My plan is to weigh myself every Monday when I go to work on the same scale to see what I've lost. I despise scales and refuse to own one, I would totally be one of those people whose life gets consumed by it. But I'll sure let ya know when I find out Monday! I already feel like I may have lost a bit!
