Calling all Farting and Belching Masters!



Recommended Posts

Since my op, early March 2016, I have become one myself.

I don't like it !!!

I can't do a silent/non smelly fart anymore .... Now, it is like a loud cannon, and the smell nearly suffocates me at times ....

Every day!

Does it ever go away ???

Is it due to extra Protein, Benefibre, something else?

Will a pro-biotic help?

The belching I can cope with, and laugh at it.

With the farting issue, well, I've had enough of it.

So, long timers, does it ever go away, or does it linger on?

What do you do to cope with it?

Many Thanks :)

I don't think it's from Protein coz I get 80-100 grams a day and I don't have that problem. Are you making your shakes out of milk products? Could be lactose intolerant. I burp a lot because my new stomach is so small, but not loud. But I'm not a long timer so I guess it doesn't help you any. Lol. My surgery was May 5th.

Good things come to good people.

I was told I was moderately lactose intolerant.

I am trialling lactose-free milk, but I love my yoghurt and cottage cheese ....

I'll try Gasx, and perhaps Probiotics, as I haven't taken any for a long time.

Fingers crossed! Don't want to be a Cyclone/Atomic Bomb Queen ......

Never used to burp prior this op.

And my farts were mostly silent ones in the past, and not deadly .... LOL

Got to laugh!

I want to step down from the unwanted throne .....

Probiotics definitely helped !!!

Back to normal, thank goodness :)

I guess, the anti-biotics with the surgery, trauma to my poor tummy, different food phases, some intolerances, they all played a part in this annoying condition .....

Got Gasx/Degas, haven't needed to use it .....

Just good old pro-biotics did the trick for me, Yay ! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
