When I read you had antibiotics I knew what you had.  Antibiotics kills all the GOOD bacteria in the gut, along with the bad.  The bad bacteria are then allowed to proliferate which cause the gas, bloating & other problems.  I learned this many years ago.
Now, doctors are finally recommending taking probiotics every time you take antibiotics for any infection.
You can start probiotics now to start getting the healthy flora back in the gut.
You can buy them at the pharmacy or a health food store.
Warning - start slowly & build up the dose, otherwise you can increase the problem.

shake up your workout...and increase your intensity...if you walk jog, if you jog run...or just increase your intensity of any machines you do...switch machines...as your body does get used to your workout...you need to create muscle confusion to wake them up...
Anyhow hope this was helpful..

 If you haven't already, post on the DS board, they have a list of doctors that actually do DS. I believe there is finally one in MA but I'm not positive. Previously the closest DS surgeon was in NY. 

Thank you I feel 100 times better :)

Congrats!!! That is most awesome!

chrisinma,
Thanks so much for responding. You are the second person recommending Dr. Jiser. From my understanding they run the wls programs at both LGH and Emerson.
Thanks again,
Maureen

 hello,, sorry it takes me so long to get back to you!  well the process is kinda long ,, but if you can make it to all of the appt that they give you with out rescheduling then it goes reall quick... i didnt reschedule any of them  and it took me about  i wna to say 4 months until the actual surgry ,. depending  on how long it takes you to lose the % of wieght first like i had to lose,,, 15 pounds first... and then they would do the surgery... but while you are trying to lose the weight they schedule all of your appts so that when you are done with losing the % of wieght you will be all ready to book your appt for surgery! .. i also have a facebook that you can add me on ... i have alot more before pics and after! my name on there is alante tipa....  bye and have a great night

Bravo   great work!

Hi.. I have no idea if I'm posting this post in the right spot..I have my first apt. At warehams associates with my surgeon tomorrow. DR. KRUGER. I AM SO AFRAID OF SAYING THE WRONG THINGS. I AM ON 47 MILLIGRAMS OF METHADONE. I HAVE BEEN COMING OF THE LAST 6 MONTHS. DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY SAID THAT MY PHONE WAS A PROBLEM. AND NOT HAND LIKE TO SEE ME AT 10 MILLIGRAMS BEFORE THE SURGERY. I AM ACTUALLY WILLING TO DO THIS. I HATE METHADONE I WANT TO BE OFF I HAVE NOT USED DRUGS IN OVER 3 YEARS. He mention the 10 milligrams at the seminar. I am terrified that I will be treated differently Because I'm a recovering addict. That has happened to me quite a few times. My life has changed I'm a productive member of society. Has anyone I have this surgery on methadone. I have mass health as well . I heard that there is a 6 month program required when you have masshealth. Anyone can help me with how to go when I present my case you with the doctor about being treated differently. And if anybody knows any information on mass health.. thank you so much. Have a blessed day..xxx
