When will the burping and painful gas& bloating subside?

[talkingmountain 83]

I'm 2 wks postop (gastric bypass) and am wondering if the constant painful bloating and burping will ever end?

It doesn't feel like the gas from the surgery- it seems to be inside my digestive tract.

I'm careful to avoid all dairy products so it can't be lactose intolerance. And I'm careful to avoid Splenda and sugar alcohols.

I haven't been able to tolerate Protein drinks so am just trying to eat high Protein foods (about 2 tbsp split pea Soup & 1 egg a day) plus drinking lots of Water. I am up and down all day (due to contracting pneumonia, I don't have the energy yet to "exercise" per se). I'm eating gas-X strips like they were Christmas candy. But both seems to alleviate the gas!

Maybe the split pea soup...beans is causing gas.
