Ok, I get that everyone has gas from abdominal surgery. I'd had it before and it sure didn't last this long. I'd like to blame it on fatty food but by far the largest part of my diet is Protein Shakes right now so that's not it. I am really hoping that I'm not going to go from being fat to being a permanent gas bag lol. Yuck!

Funny enough, it's the protein!!!! Protein, especially whey protein, makes you gassy.

I'm going to try adding yogurt in. Their are a number of posts out there on the internet where people were helped somewhat by Probiotics. I'll try anything, this sucks.

I am 14 months post op and have bad gas still. I have however found out how much my husband loves me. Any man that still loves a woman after some of these smells is a keeper.

With that being said get online and buy Devrom. It is an internal deodorant that works wonders. I don't know how it works but trust me it works. When I told my hubby I was almost out of them in casual conversation he got online and quickly ordered me two bottles.

Love that phrase," gas bag." I feel like that daily and still take gas x! My husband says he wants his lady back cause this is not ladylike lol it's sooooo bad and I'm ashamed of how relieved I feel after it finally starts moving..notice I didn't flat out say I'm ashamed that I enjoy farting.

At 9 months post op I am convinced that flatulence will be an ongoing issue, no matter what foods are eaten. It is frustrating. But I prefer extra farting and being thinner to farting less and being fatter.

Several sources I read recommended yogurt or a probiotic. I ate yogurt today AND took a probiotic and I will say it's better. I still feel bloated but at least I dont feel like someone could tie a rope around my waist and fly me in the Macy's parade in November!

      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.
