Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Anything with sugar alcohols. They are in many things, including many types of protein bars and drinks. Of course, the usual fiber things like beans, cauliflower, broccoli. Inulin (chicory root) is use for fiber in many things and can cause excessive gas in some people.

The one thing that consistently gets me tooting is cauliflower. Always. Also, years ago this one brand of pizza used to really do it to me. Only that brand. They don't have it where I live now and I don't eat the stuff anymore anyway. But it was killer. But the other thing is just being overall constipated which occurs with protein drinks. Its no fun.

protein drinks constipate you? do you add benefiber?

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

yep, but benefiber doesn't work too well for me. so i eat a few prunes. old fashioned but effective. recommended by surgeon over benefiber which can make things worse if you don't get plenty of fluid. Diane

Since the surgery, I'm super gassy, but the good side is 95% of the time, it's completely odorless. THANK GOD! I did discover early that any sugar alcohol kills me and does create odor, so I never followed the sugar-free rules (I just kept things low sugar), but thankfully, that didn't affect my weight loss.

I need to pay better attention because there are some days that my farts just...KILL...me. I'm guessing it's sugar alcohols as some of the protein bars I eat are worse than others.

and I feel bad for the dog too. He's a coverburrower and sometimes it's so bad he has to vacate.

Then again, he's gassed me out on a number of occasions. I know EGGS kill him. but that isn't it for me since I can't eat them post VSG. That is my one barf inducing food.

When I quit drinking soda prior to surgery I quit farting all the time. It was great! I hardly farted for 6 months. I didn't start drinking soda again, but I'm back to farting a lot again, damn it. And totally unexpectedly. I remember my grandmother coming out of her room, farting, and walking back in her room. What a nasty old lady, I thought. Now that's me! I always hope nobody heard, or I pretend I scraped my chair, or my foot.

I don't really think I'm fooling anyone though. And at home I just let 'em blast!
Maybe it's a genetic thing. I was on an elevator (trapped!) with my adult son once when he let one loose. I felt sorry for the poor folks coming in as I rushed off. Ahh, good times. Even babies know farts are funny. My granddaughter in the picture with me is happily making fart noises to entertain me.
