2 1/2 months out from surgery.  I NEVER fart, but I do burp a lot after a meal.  But my tummy swells up like I'm pregnant during the day.  Is that just gas - or what?

Yep, gas.  Try an elimination diet to figure out what it is.  Go back to Atkins induction for a day or 2 and then re-introduce foods one by one.  If you're on shakes then watch out for those as it could be the lactose or the sweetener in them (for me the preservative for the powdered milk would bloat me).

If you are still using shakes, try whey protein isolate instead of regular whey protein powder. Muscle Milk is one brand that uses WPI.  I order unflavored by the 10# bag through Lucky Vitamin.

The lactose is processed out of the isolate, which makes it more tolerable if you have developed lactose intolerance.

I was LI before surgery, moreso post-op.  After four years it's leveled off some, but I still have to watch it with certain dairy products.

Make friends with Greek yogurt.  It helps restore intestinal flora, and it packs a solid protein punch, mine is 25 grams per serving.  I buy several quarts of plain and use Splenda and extracts to flavor it, along with fresh and canned fruit mix-ins.
