Okay, I've looked for an answer in the DB but can't find it... GAS!

I am 5 months post-op Lap RNY. I am behaving diet and exercise wise, and have lost about 72 pounds. Protein min. 50 g/day, carbs around 70/day, calories 700/day max. BUT I am gassy. REALLY gassy. The worst is at night, and my husband will not sleep with me now. He goes to bed with me so I will stop bugging me but he gets back up after I nod off and heads to the couch. When I wake up in the middle of the night he is in the living room. It is so bad that the smell wakes ME up! HELP! Is my marriage going to survive this???? I am scared too because I had pancratitis 2 years ago, and was very gassy before I got deathly ill. FYI I still have my gallbladder but we are positive there are stones in there - doc says no surgery until I have an attack. Another FYI, my blood sugar has been extremely low... down in the 50's daily (I used to have them in the 300's). I asked my PA about the hypoglycemia, but he says, in a nutshell, "eat more often". So I do, but nothing has changed. Any sage advice would be appreciated! Thanks, posties! -Shelli
