"Sharting"

[msfitn2014 248]

Not to sound disgusting or offend anyone but is passing gas an issue for sleevers....I see a lot of people quoting "never trust a fart" will we be pooping and passing gas together now?

Curious to know being Sleeved first week of April

passing gas

msfitn2014, @@JoyAnn44

not laughing at you, really

but you are in for some possible fun

some/many people have issues with gas post op!!!

the help/answer to that "situation" (gas)

is to walk, and walk, and walk - immediately in the hospital

it will help get rid of the gas

as far as "never trust a fart??"

yep, thats true tooooo

"butttttt", if these are the two worse problems you'll experience ..............

oh well it could be worse!!!

many of us "lucky' people never experience gas or "sharting"

i was/am one of those people

ladies, good luck with surgery

speedy recovery

I think it is only a concern in the liquid/pureed stage of your diet. Once that is passed then we have Constipation to look forward too. I will be carrying extra undies and baby wipes with me for a bit lol

Explosive juicy poop-farts. Carry extra clothes in your bag just in case. At the slightest hint of interest in the bowel area, head for a toilet.

I was sleeved on Wednesday, March 19th and have been miserable since coming home. I am on full liquids, so I tried 2 oz of injury protien shake. Horrible grumbling started about 1/2 hour later then I was in the bathroom. Called the advisory nurse and they said it will take your body a while to adjust. Today I didn't take in any protien shakes or dairy and made surei took a clathrate before I ate anything and have been ok. I will try protien again tomorrow.

My issues with starting came after taking laxatives to relieve Constipation. Or if I had anything sugary. That was for about first year. Now I still get the bubblies if I drink something sugary but at least I don't shart

I wore strategically set sanitary napkins in my undies

I haven't had any issues with sharting yet "thank goodness" BUT, farting is an issue sometimes. Usually after Protein. I will be walking and all of a sudden out comes the fart. I just keep walking and pretend I didn't hear it and hope to God it doesn't smell!

I have heard of this from a few others but it has never been a problem for me. However, I'm constipated most of the time

GasX strips are great early on. They dissolve on your tongue.
