2 questions gas at night and drinking fluids

1.   I notice at night I have air/gas but no pain, is this normal since 4 weeks ago having lap band. 
2.  Can one drink as much fluids at one time, i know not before or after meals, but when drinking fluids, is there a limit.
much thanks.

1.  This happens to me too alot .i think it food choice related for me but cannot figure out what .(except refried beans I know that )LOL
2. I have not been told of a limit of fluids. Just go slow and do not drink with meals or 30 or so mins after.

 thanks.

I was just getting ready to post something about gas when I came across your post.  I too have been having lots of gas.  I was banded on the 17th of March and I can not remember hadly a day that has went by since that I haven't had gas in the evenings....sometimes ever during the day.   I know that when I eat beans I should expect it but on the days that I don't I have no clue what I could possibly be doing to cause this.  Sorry I don't have any answers for you but it makes me feel better to know I am not alone in this! :)     As to how much you can drink, I was told that there is no limit! 

 thanks.

Are you drinking with a straw or chewing gum?  That could get air into your GI system. 

Keep track of what you are eating and see if you can find a pattern with a certain food.  I've never had a problem, until last week when I tried eating a Pure Protein bar.  I bought a box and thought I would give them a try.  I ate one a day and on the box it stated that eating them in excess could cause a laxative effect because of the sugar alcohols in it.  Well I would like to rename the bars, PURE gas bars.  Never had a problem before, and I can tell you I will never eat those bars again.  Thank goodness I didn't eat more than one a day!  ughhhh
