Glad you are enjoying passing gas! In my case, gas meant that a certain food didn't agree with me and I just stay away from those foods.

I hadn't noticed that, maybe I need to pay closer attention. Thanks Lcat4.

For lunch yesterday I'd served my family some ham and bean soup with veggies in it. Nutrient-wise, it was fine but high in sodium due to the ham. Anyway, my daughter could hear my stomach gurgling all the way across the table, which caused my entire family much laughter. I told her that this was just the beginning!

I haven't passed actual gas in a while but I've never been as happy as I was when I had my first real, non-gross BM.

Akgirl, I'm with you--I don't want to miss a single thing! This process of becoming a whole new healthy me is so exciting that every gurgle, burp and hiccup is so worth it.

PianoDiva how funny. I am so glad we can bring such joy to family and friend. I too enjoy all the gurgles and noises. I feel like my rearranged parts are back together and working. You too are enjoying the journey. I see a change in how you are viewing things now. Let's all journey together and enjoy.

My former roommate always laughed at my noisy stomach when I ate lol. I've found now that passing gas is more embarrassing because it smells worse than before. So now I leave the room and go to the bathroom. It's on my list of things to ask my doctor about when I go again. Overall I'm happy with my decision. Ill take the noisy stomach over obesity any day :)

Hi,
I had surgery August 2015. The surgeon recommended that we take a good probiotic daily to help with the smell of gas. He said, "Your family will love you for taking it!" The only time I have gas is when I eat a dairy product. However, I do belch a lot. Well, everyone passes gas daily, so says Dr. Oz. :)

Thankfully gas isn't a problem for me at the moment, but my stomach's gurglings can be heard across the table and I can dissolve in a fit of hiccups with no warning whatsoever, which makes anyone near me dissolve into a fit of giggles, which makes me laugh and thus hiccup even more!

Diva...you always make me laugh! Now here's a laugh for you. My uncle passed away (at 97 years of age) and I was talking to my kids about funeral arrangements. I told them when my number was up, I didn't want them to spend a bunch of money on funeral arrangements. They could just throw my ashes in a coffee can. My son looked at me and laughed. "What's so funny?" I said. He said I was so small he wouldn't need a coffee can...he could put me in a K-cup! It was an off the wall compliment that had us all laughing and helped ease the tension of losing my uncle.

Wow isn't that fun. I am glad we are able to laugh and have fun. I hope I am as successful as you, put my remains in a k-cup not a coffee can. Have a great day, thank you for the laugh.

A K-cup?! That's hilarious! You could even use one from regular coffee since, when we're dead, we don't have to worry about only drinking decaf anymore!

(and now I'm looking at my coffee maker and the stack of K-cups next to it and giggling like crazy)
