The gas was an issue for me, too. I felt prune juice was more helpful than over the counter [for me] but follow your doctor's suggestions and get his okay before adding foods and OTC meds. My doctor agreed to let me try Gas-X and it did help after the first few weeks. I also avoided gassy vegetables, drank protein drinks and consumed more high protein foods. It takes at least 4 months to start feeling like your prior self and secure enough to establish confidence. Everything does return to a normal routine, and it is hard to have patience. Good luck, it will get better.
