I seem to have enough gas to light up a small country. I can clear a room in nothing flat, and it seems there is a lot of "hang time" associated with it. I'm four months out and afraid to go out in public. I've read about different products on the Internet and am way confused about effectiveness vs. scam. Has anyone tried anything that seems to work?

I so wish that I had an answer for you. I too am embarrassed about it, I'm only 2 weeks post op so it's not been too much of a problem yet because I'm still in the recovery stage. However, I'm recently divorced and looking forward to dating. I can only imagine how awful this may become. I'm going to watch this thread for info. I certainly hope somebody has some answers for us. Good luck =]

I hear ya loud and clear - LOL no pun intended !!! I am the same way, I believe it is the Protein. I really hate to admit this but OMG... I was in my car at 8 pm last night, when I got in this morning @ 8 am it still stunk inside - LOL is that horrible or what. I am 5 months post op and have accepted this until I level off and start eating normal and not on protein. I really don't think there is much to stop this... but not sure. I hear some people have tried Bean-o and it has worked. I drink my Protein Shake at 10:30 am every day and my gas slams me in the evening around 8-9pm arrrgggghhhhh !!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
