Flatulence On Liquid Diet, Kind Of Embarrassing



Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm scratching my head on this one.

A way I have found recently to combat these long stalls and the weight loss that has slowed dramatically in the past months, I have gone to doing all liquid diet (mostly just broth, crystal light and sometimes diet pepsi wild cherry). It's been working to break the stall. Please no lectures that doesn't support long term healthy eating/ maintenance. I have a long history of sabatoging myself when I do really well on weight loss only to have it come to a grinding halt short of my final goal and puts me into a vicious cycle of lose/ gain/ lose/ gain. Yes, I am seeing a therapist and have been since before surgery. I am getting so close to my final goal, I can't bear to go through any sort of lose/ gain cycle.

So, here is my question that baffles me. Normally, I only get gas if I eat chocolate, Beans or pepperoni slices (don't understand that one). But, anyways, I find I have an abnormal amount of flatulence while doing the all liquid diet. They don't have an odor, just small noisy ones.

Anyone?

Same here! If I'm at work I will go to the bathroom and let it all out. Of course I check to make sure no one is there first. When I was drinking Slim Fast on a month long crash diet, the same thing happened when I had a natural stomach. I bought some Gas-X strips that dissolve on the tongue and it really helps stop all the gas I been having.

Thank goodness for soft squissy office chairs! I am afraid I might "toot" on the way to the bathroom. LOL

Right after surgery, when I was getting all the gas out, combined with the gas of being on a liquid diet, I turned to my best friend (who also happens to be my co-worker in our small office) and flat out said: "Look, I am going to sound like a barnyard animal for a few days/weeks...please still love me!" And we laughed it off and went on our way. I figured it was going to happen in front of her, might as well be up front about it!

LOL...I just talked with some of my co-workers yesterday. They are asking when I'll be back and how was I feeling.

Long story short, I told them great, some days really tired, and plenty of gas! They were guys and they just started laughing saying how fun I'll be when I return to working tooting along!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
