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 ! :)

      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.
