Hi I’m new to this website. Didn’t know it even existed. So happy I ran across my accident.

I don’t know about y’all but any food/foods I eat gives me gas something awful. I see that this website sells their own food. Does this food give you gas?

Thanks in advance for answering my question.

Lena B.

Are you eating foods with sugar alcohol? Because if I have any excess of sugar alcohol I get really bad gas. All day. No matter what I eat after the fact. You might just have something in your diet that has an excess of sugar alcohol or something else that your stomach doesn't handle well.

Welcome. It’s a great site. A wealth of information & support.

What stage are you at? What surgery did you have/are you having? Have you cut out/reduced your intake of carbonated drinks? Have you reduced your carb intake?

I generally eat fresh foods I prepare myself, avoiding a lot of carbs & sugar. (Also I don’t eat any spicy foods but that’s because I’m very sensitive to chilli & curry blends.) Amusingly, I hardly have any wind at all now. Though I thought I’d try adding chia seeds to my diet & that gave me terrible gas as do Beans so they’re off my diet - unless I know I won’t be interacting with others for a couple of days😁.

      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.
