Post op emotional rollercoaster
This is totally normal. Many people experience an emotional roller coaster after surgery and it's highly recommended that we all find a therapist to work with. It's a lot of change and a lot of things to process.
Talk with your surgeon about the gas - perhaps it's how you're drinking? Try drinking with a straw if you haven't already. They can help people with air inhalation while drinking.

A straw will make the gas worst because it lets air in to your stomach all the doctors say in big print DO NOT USE A STRAW. its harmful to the pouch.
This is 100% not true - it's sort of like a WLS urban legend that some surgeons cling to even though some people have much greater success with straws than without them.

The straw myth is only slightly less prevalent than the starvation myth.
I DO wish that some surgeons and programs would STOP TELLING PEOPLE THIS -- it's be proved untrue again and again -- and straws can really help people get through their protein shakes!

Dude you don't have to be negative or mean I never said pizza eating was good I just shared an honest moment I had with some one else who's going through something if I had known I would keep having it thrown in my face I would of kept it to myself thought this was a judge free zone. If some one doesn't know better they can't do better I learned something new straws help some patients hopefully it helps her but I didn't know that I'm still learning if my information that my doctors gave me is incorrect how would I know that. You corrected me and some one else shared their experience that helped them as well. And now I know I'm learning too. You don't have to be so mean like seriously IM LEARNING
