from Missouri, I also have had LOTS of gas, and tooting moments.

Have you had any experience with, after eating, your gut goes wild and

sounds like you have a wild animal trapped inside yowling to get out? It

seems to happen after salads or beans, and I love both. Do you think I am

eating them a little early, I am 9 weeks post op. I don't have trouble with

most other things, that I have eaten. It is embarrassing for this to happen

when I am with a client and have no recourse but to stay. So I have decided

to forgo eating salads/beans for a few more weeks and try them again when I

am a few more weeks post op.

Yes I think you are eating beans too soon, unless you having a small amount,

very small and the same for salad. And I love both too. We are in the same

boat!!! lol We must be very patient. Yeah right. Anyway, misery loves

comfort, so they say, and I have a feeling we have lots of comfort. Hang in

there and go slow with everything is my advice. My biggest downfall is

gulping water and juice down. I am trying to use smaller and smaller glasses

and containers when I go somewhere so I won't get so greedy after my liquids.

We must all continue to pray for each other every single day of the world,

forever and ever. Love to all,

Okay, speaking of tooting, here's one of my many embarassing moments...

No matter what I eat, I toot. Thankfully, I toot quietly, you know, those

" SBDs " (Silent But Deadly). As a child my brothers used to threaten to sell

me to the Army as a new secret weapon!

Until recently I was a Preschool Teacher. I taught three year olds, some of

whom had only recently gotten the hang of potty training.

One afternoon my Asst. Director passed through my classroom with a parent. I

had just tooted and they walked directly into the path of the odor. The

Asst. Dir. and the parent both commented that someone must have poopy pants.

I told them I thought someone had just passed gas. The Asst. Dir. insisted

on checking every child's pants to ensure that no one had had an accident.

All the while I kept trying to reassure her and the parent that I was SURE

that someone had just passed gas.

Later I " confessed " to her that someone really had tooted, ME!! We had a

royal laugh at that one!

Seriously though, when there is no way to hid the fact that you've tooted,

the reaction of those around you (the looks of disgust especially) can be

quite hurtful.

Hi, Margie. I'm originally from SC and have been here in AK for 10.5 years

Sorry, but I really wasn't kidding. It's not exactly anything to be scared

about, but be prepared for it. I recall that one of the first things I said

to my wife after waking up in the recovery room was " now I'll be able to

f@rt like a real MGBer " .

No, I haven't had the surgery yet, but I'm hoping for around October. After

we've both had the surgery and I can get home to visit, we can all go to the

beach and not feel so self-conscious. Wouldn't that be great? Y'all might lose

me there, though. People from Alaska are ghostly white and have to tan for a

week before you can see them!

Believe me, I'd be back in a minute flat if I could convince my husband. He

actually turned down a job that was a promotion last fall. That came close to

causing a divorce!

Glad to hear that, Ginny. Maybe I won't have to charter a flight home or leave

I have to tell something that happened back in SC. I used to work for SC Voc.

Rehab. We had a counselor that worked with hearing impaired clients only.

Debbie had a woman on her caseload whose husband passed away from myocardial

infarction (heart attack). When Debbie asked her what happened to her husband,

the woman said the doctor told her he died from massive internal farting! How

do you not crack up over something like that?

Robyn,

Um that's what I say, sometimes my husband gets a little pesky about it

but he loves me just the same. He calls me stinky sometimes and there

are times that I'll be talking and he'll say " you sthink so? " ... all in

all he's okay but not perfect... but he teases me lovingly but sometimes

I get ticked at him... sometimes its okay...

Bottom line... I love becoming more healthy and losing weight and I just

don't give a damn about the gas ... there I said it, I mean it and I'm

sticking to it!!!!

Cheryl

[Guest guest]

Ok, I have to agree! It's mostly when I eat foods that cause the same

problem for the non-MGB'ers. Since we're spilling our guts, (so to speak)

My husband jokes about this: When people ask him, " Who is that lithe,

svelte redhead with you? " His reply is, " That's my wife, we call her

" STINKY " ! (pronounced stanky for flair) Isn't that special? Where else

could I share this but here?
