Excess Gas

[purplecatlover 5]

Hi there, I had my sleeve on November 20th. I am starting to eat sort of normally now and I have a LOT of gas. I have read and been told (I think) that the gas will stretch my stomach so now I am freaking out that my stomach is big again. I have an appetite but can only eat a small amount at a time and I am still losing 2 or 3 pounds a week.

Does anyone have any information on gas and the sleeve surgery?

Thank you in advance, this forum saved my sanity after the surgery!!!!

Gas is going to be a fact of life for a while. It just comes with the major changes that were made to your stomach. I would suggest chewable Gas-X. I use it a lot and I love that stuff!

I RARELY burp anymore, don't know why - so my gas is the other kind. Just tired of passing such a large amount of gas...........

@@purplecatlover Oh then yep try the gas x if you haven't already, they have the chewable like Dave said or you can get the dissolvable Strips.

You need to walk around and get it all out. Also when sitting doe arm raise as if you are lifting dumbbells at the gym. I had one day of flatulence when I first came home and then I was fine, but boy was it a gassy day! I think I even offended the cat.

Sugar or other carbs give me gas. I notice it immediately. I've been taking a good probiotic and it's made a huge difference.

No gas for me, but Constipation. I would swap my constipation for gas any day.

I had gas and funny gurgling sounds coming from my tummy the first few months, then they went away. Now I get gas when I eat processed foods...
