Oh Barb, I was wondering about you.  Glad to hear your home and like the above said,,,,,,,all the waiting and surgery behind you.  You got to see Carla too, thats awesome.  Sorry you are having the gas trouble.  That will pass in a couple of days, and things will regulate.  Chat when you can Maryellen

Hi Maryellen, Still have alot of gas,, dont dare to take anything to make it help.. i ate one egg this morning too fast and wow i didnt know it would be so heavy,,he wanted to me try them. but jello and broth feels the best i think i will do that for a while and just wait.. i have the smooth move tea but dont dare take it.. has anyone that you hear from have a lot of gas...what they take,,i been walking it helps some nnot alot. chat later i get tired really easy Barb

Hi Barb, Wow! I can't believe your surgeon lets you have eggs! Amazing how every surgeon is different. I just graduated to soft foods. I had my 1 Month today!  I am down 30 lbs!   If you like Cottage cheese, that is pretty good and has lots of protein. It also went down fine for me, anyway.

they had haddock and chicken salad tuna salad all at the hospital.. mygas pain is gone now took gas x stripes wow what a difference.i like cottage chesse Glad to hear you are doing so well..cant wait for my 2 week check up to see how much i lost..im only 6days out but must not worry... Barb

Yeah, that is crazy. They brought me Turkey, veggies and Potato the next day in the Hospital. They don't know any better in the kitchen.  I did have the sugar free egg custard they brought with it, though. But I was like "hello" I just had Gastric Bypass surgery!   I wasn't ready to eat anyway. The nurse told me as long as I get my fluids/water in..... food will come much later. Dr Cobean doesn't have a 2 week appointment only a 1 month, and then I didn't even see him. Just the Nut, Social Worker and Nurse. I am sure if anything was wrong though, I would have seen him.  You are doing great!! Keep up the good work!!

Barb Glad you are home. Yes that gas is fun hugh????? They told me all surgery's to the stomach cause gas from being opened up. Listen to Dr. Clough he is good. But I could not eat eggs until about 3 mos out now I LOVE them. Enjoy the wonderful changes in store for you. Pam

I have been able to eat a soft boiled egg,......not the whole thing mind you, for a couple of days now,  but the first one I tried came back up.  I really didn't have gas after I got home from the hospital, but some have said the gas x strips help???  They just melt on your tongue, so you don't have to swallow them, send hubby out and try it,  what have you got to lose??  It won't make it worse, thats for sure.  Walking will help too, and just plain old time.  You can message me with questions if you need to.   Your in my thoughts,  heres to a new us!!!!! Maryellen

Hi Barb,  I'm happy to hear that your home!  I'm so surprised that your allowed to eat solid foods already.  Seems every surgeon has their own way of doing things.  Just take it slow.   Blessings, Yvonne
