All this gas!!
Holy Cow! I am officially one week out from surgery and I am so rumbling! I don't know where all this gas is coming from, my belly is thundering, popping, groaning and giving Godzilla sounds from what? I am sure I already burped out all the anesthesia, I am drinking only clear liquids and am not using straws or sippy cups.
It's embarrassing sometimes....it is loud! I am taking my pepcid twice a day, I am up to 70 oz of water including 40 grams of protein. When will this end? I am already afraid to let a fart out unless I am on the toilet I am afraid of what might happen next Tuesday when I start full liquids...can you imagine the sounds of milk and thinned out cream soups??
Any ideas? Will Beano drops help?

The worst for me was when I drank whey protein and milk . I am 7 weeks out and still have gas a lot.....I try the phazyme and gas x but it doesn't seem to help.....I am still doing cheese and cottage cheese. I know that I have developed lactose intolerance to an extent, but still can't give the cheese up completely yet. I work alone at night so let it grumble......I don't care....but it's not something that I want to have forever......the nectar protein drinks were the worst at giving me the gas.....
