GBS RNY Frankly Speaking Community Group
This is a frank speaking group for those who wish to discuss their surgeries diet and personal concerns. Although support is a large part of what this group is about we will also give our frank advice and best recommendation on the premise that information empowers. I hope that those who use this group will understand that critical responses on discussion posts are not...
I am more than one year out and still have a bad problem with gas. I am taking Devrom and it does help...but...when I eat protein - like protein shakes or protein bars,,,,it is really bad. Anyone else had this problem, it makes it hard to get all of the protein in.
Gas means you are doing it right. I went through a period of no gas and although my family loved it, every single blood draw was horrible. Low this, low that...not the most encouraging. If you are experiencing gas, your body has figured out how to get rid of it and you are eating the right amount of protein for your body.
What I try to do is just leave the area fast when I have the issue in public. My kids are hysterical...walking through a store I simply say.."walk faster..now"...the response is..."really, mom??" and we all move very quickly from the area. It's a bit amusing for a serious subject, but it gets me through it.
Let's just hope that we can find better ways of dealing with it in the future.
Life is good.
