Same here... tiny little burps... HUGE disgusting blowout farts. Last night I made one so bad that my BF declared "that is really gross" and left the room. :(

Oh I know. It's horrible. It's a big problem in m life. I try to be really careful of what I eat. I know one thing that causes it is sugar.

One Halloween, I ate some candy while taking my grandson trick or treating. We went to his day care to trick or treat, and I really embarassed myself. Silent but empty out a room stinky. :wub:

you ladies are funny... and yes I didn't realize it was the sugars!!!! I went 1 day without any sugar and not much of a gassy problem, then the next day I had 5 m&m candies and piece of brownie (birthday party at work) and oh my!!!!

hmmmm - question about this one - is the gas issue from just after surgery, or forever!

Really not keen on the idea of sitting at work/out at dinner etc etc and blelching - or WORSE!!

Ahhhh!

I am 3 years out and it hasn't gotten any better for me. I don't burp but I'd rather burp than have it come out the other end. It's a horrible problem!

Just be careful about blowing out farts in the early days post-op since you're on mostly liquids....you might get a little surprise! LMBO ;)

I bought some pills online that are supposed to get rid of the smell if you take them before you eat. I don't even know if they work because I can never smell mine. Other people do though. I get plenty of comments.

I know sugar causes it. I had like a 5 min long one at my daughter's house after eating some of my grandson's birthday cake. Luckily, she was the only one in the room. She said I stunk up the whole room. I could smell nothing. I should have remembered to take that pill!

I am a week preop and have met a lot of people who have already had vsg. I keep hearing horror stories in the gas/poops/burps. I asked the doc and he said the dissolvable sheets from Pyazym (sp?) work really good. Have any of you all tried this? I am on the pre op liquid diet for two weeks...I have never had the poops like I do now...I'm scared it will be worse after surgery and hurt my stomach getting on and off the crapper so much!!!!

        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.

      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
