At times I experience extreme gas too. I find that I can control it (almost) by watching what I eat. I drink Carb Countdown Fat Free milk with my protein shakes, even though it looks and takes mostly like water, it does give me the "dairy" taste I grave. I also have found that the gas is most severe when I eat food with a higher sugar alcohol content (most sugar free food has more sugar alcohol). When I cut back on the sugar alcohol and stick with more organic food (veggies and fruit) I am much better. Thanks. Kathy 333/316/179/155

You have spoken wise words and I feel have said what I needed to hear. I am Lakota sioux and our people have more difficulty losing as it is. God bless you and thank you. Huugs stacy

lol...yeah..that's what's happening now. the pic of me in the green shirt was taken back in november...i'm going to get that one replaced with the one in the denim jacket, since it's more current definately post when you get your new pics...the before/after shots are an inspiration. i found it extra comforting post op...it's hard to believe those first few days after surgery that a mistake had not been made. looking at the pictures gave me hope..and still inspires me to keep going

I feel like I'm done losing too. I have lost 135 lbs, but did want to lose 25 more to get to goal of 150lbs, but I have to look at the big picture. THE REALLY BIG PICTURE!!!! I have to remember how big I was, and how far I've come. Bottom line is, I'm happy,feeling great, and can now see my feet! Life couldn't be better!

Actually my surgeon removed my gallbladder during wls. I have not felt the pain in 3 days so I hope it was just a temporary thing. Thanks for your reply.
