Gas, Gas and more gas



Recommended Posts

Okay, it is going on two years since I had my surgery and I became a gassy person. I get even if I sip Water. I some times feel bad for the people on the bus because when it comes out the other end and it does all the time it is smelly. I can't stop it. I talk I burp. I walk I fart. I take GasX or Beano nothing. As I typed this question I burped about 20 times and they were not small one. Please tell me this is going to stop. Someone Please

I have the problem with burping. Even though it's an antacid, try chewing on Tums throughout the day to keep the gas down. Also, you might want to watch your carb intake since it a major cause of gas. Gas-X didn't work for me at all but ever since I started chewing 3 or 4 tums a few times a day, my burping is barely noticeable even though it's still there and like you, I burp even when drinking Water. It's kinda depressing though to hear that you're suffering from this two years post-op. I was keeping my hopes up that it was temporary since I'm only 2 months post-op.

I get horrible gas, especially if I eat anything with sugar. Carbs like rice are not as bad but if eat candy or a cookie , I better go and hide for awhile.

It's a big problem for me. I hate it. Some days, I have no idea what's causing it.

Being a vegetarian.... all that Fiber,cabbage, Beans and such, can really lead to some gasbomb days! The intestinal biome loves to make gas!

I didn't think mine had a smell cause I can't smell it but according to my daughter, they reek.

I've had other people say something wondering who smelled up the entire room, and I wanted to run and hide.

My poor husband looks at me like he is amazed because I would never fart like I do now. He laughs cause he knows Im super embarassed. But its so funny, a friends husband ran up to us as soon as he heard I had surgery like his wife, warned my husband that I would be gassy we both said nooooo but we soon said yeeesss

My husband and sons find it funny too. My husband finds extra humor in the fact that sometimes I unexpectedly do it while walking.

      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.
