Ladyracer, I too am having a lot of gas after eating. I am going to the dr. today and I'm going to ask about it. Mine seems the worst after the protien shakes. To deal with it so far besides what the dr. perscribed I am taking gas x strips 1 per meal it helps a little. Hang in there it's bound to get better!

Hi All! I was banded on 12/18 and now I don't even feel as if I ever had surgery! I had my follow up appointment and they were amazed and how well and fast my surgery scars heeled. You almost can't tell there were even any cuts there. I'm doing much better on the hunger since starting the mushies. I don't get as much gas when I eat now either. I will say that if you happen to make a mistake and drink out of a straw BEWARE! I never noticed before how much drinking out of a straw can give you gas! My first fill is scheduled for 1/15. I can't wait because I find myself eating more and more and I haven't lost any weight since I started mushies. Hopefully the fill will make a difference and I will feel some restriction. I only feel it if I eat too fast. I am also going to see my nutritionist again because I need to know exactly what to eat that will help me lose weight otherwise I will fall off the wagon very quickly.

I hope everyone is doing well and having a happy new year so far!
