HI gang!!

My name is Kathy i had an open rny 5/15/00 324 lbs today i am happy

at 165 lbs , but 5 lbs from my goal. I thank my surgeons for my new

GREAT life i feel WONDERFUL!!! I wish i would have know about this

sooner.

I do have a few concerns, sometimes i wonder i im eating to much or

find myself eating when im not hungry and i tell myself im doing it

just to get my proteins. I am not much of a water drinker never have

been. I drink alot of coffee and crystal lite, more coffee then

anything. Another conern im having is the last 6 to 8 weeks i have

been passing alot of gas and i do mean alot of " smelly farts " lol it

is very very embarrassing! I called the gal at the doctors office and

she said she went this a small period of this. I am taking a gas

relief but it doesnt seem to help does anyone have any advice on this

and did any of you go thru a gas passing period? I am leaving for a

cruise in 2 weeks I don't want to be a farting fool!!!

Thanks for any help you might have!
