what's up with the flatulence?



Recommended Posts

So if you have had issues with flatulence since the lap band surgery and you know what the medical reason for it is, please share. I'm just wondering why I am having so much now, it has been 2 1/2 months since surgery.

Thank you!:laugh:

Does it seem to happen for you after meals?

OMG the gas is horrible! I've been told it's just going to be like this since it's common in band patients. It's been 6 mos for me & I still have problems. Good thing I live alone.

Look at what you are eating - I'm only on the mushy phase right now but as I've been checking out the recipes, I want to try the chili/beans but I KNOW that is going to give me gas. I will eat it if I know I'm not going anywhere afterwards. Do you notice it more after eating certain foods or is it consistent with everything?

I am so glad that someone posted that. I was actually just wondering the same thing myself. I am only 3 weeks out and I know it is not the same gas as right after surgery, but my goodness. My husband said he was going to send me to a private island! :thumbup: Am I going to be like this forever?

If you wan't to make a chili recipe that does not cause gaz and disconfort, while cooking had a few drop of vinegar. It doesn't change the taste but it nutrilize the enzime that produce the gaz. You will never have gaz after eating chili if you put vinegar in it.

      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?

      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.
