Gassiness and constipation seem to go hand-in-hand with WLS! Cheese seems to be an excellent way to get the dairy and protein in but my hubby doesn't call it CHOKE BUTT for nothing. I love prunes, or the politically correct term, dried plums, and if I eat 2-3 prunes a day, I don't have any problem. Good luck Daneen on your upcoming surgery - I found it to be a piece of cake. I think the worst was getting in and out of bed or taxi cabs. My handsome husband and I stayed in Rosarita for a week following the surgery, did a lot of walking around, shopping, etc. Stayed on the liquid diet without any problems. Follow the instructions they give you, take your pain meds and GOOD LUCK. I've lost 34 pounds since July 2nd and am happily chugging along; staying away from carbs but when I do eat them, I have to remember to chew, chew, chew and eat slowly.

Happy Birthday, fellow San Joaquin Valley resident! You have been incredibly inspiring to me, and I am certain to others. I had plication 7/2/12 with Dr. Ortiz and am loving the results and the freedom to make good choices.
