Watch your dairy product intake if any. Lactose issues can cause this, watch gassy veggies...

artificial sweeteners can cause gas and the foamies also. Learn to differentiate between head hunger and real also. You may have thought you were hunger but actually you may have been having head hunger..its where you think you are hungry but it isn't coming from your stomach. It can be when you smell food that you really really want. Our mouths are the same and miss food tastes. Especially in the beginning. For me the first 11 days were the hardest. Once I het that 11th day something clicked and I realized I could do this. Best of luck to you as well! hugs,Kim

Stick to protein and walk if you have gas pains. It helps to move the gas.

Gas-X strips that dissolve work really well for gas

Probiotics really help me! Beeno works well if you use it BEFORE you eat foods that make you gassy. But do some research first and ask your doc which is best for you. (There are SOOOOO many probiotic products on the market right now and I have NO idea which are the better ones, over priced or useless ones.) The first year I was a gas producing machine...It takes a while for your new plumbing to adjust and unfortunately, gas is a common problem after most wls...For me though, it was far worse the first two years and is very mild for me now at 6 years...Sugar, dairy and certain foods are some of the things that make it bad for me...so I have learned to avoid those things or take a probiotic or "Beeno" before eating certain foods (mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, beans...etc) Good luck
