Gas

ginger12/26 · January 25, 2007

So as gross as this sounds, I have been extremely gasey (spelling?) since the surgery. I am just wondering if this is something that other people feel, or if I am gasey alone.

Thanks,

Ginger

No you're not alone. I honked one out at about 3am - sounded like Chewbocca was under my sheets. It rattled my uterus it was so forceful. I've never been this gassy in my life. I think it's all the Protein. I am doing high soy, and I remember being a bit more gassy when eating only soy burgers, etc. I'm asking my surgeon for a solution today. Gas-X isn't helping.

There is no quick solution. Walking, drink enough Water and Gas-Ex are the answers.

Hey All!

I was laughing when I saw this discussion. My mother is always yelling at me for the gassiness, but I tell her it's a new thing since my surgery! I never know when it may erupt, let's just say there have been some close calls!

That is so funny because I am just the opposite. After my surgery I haven't been that gassy at all. Carbs always gave me gas so now that I hardly eat any starchy carbs my gas has subsided. Protein just makes me a little constipated.
