Also Dub is right. Keep the Febreeze handy. I also use PooPouri (spelling). Groupon has a deal on it right now. I've actually gotten my family on it too. Lol

Yeah.. I was warned though when I got a DS that this is one of the side effects. I just watch what I eat and write everything down so I know what the culprits are quickly. One problem I'm still having sometimes (rarely though) is vomiting - also food related.

As Janet1000 said the bathroom issue is very bad I am 7 years out but have fallen off the path but trust me the smell in the bathroom can be very bad and my kids eyes go cross a lot from my gas, my husband says I can peel the paint off the walls with one fart. Yes wait you eat will make more gas than others you will learn as you go. Milk, potatoes, white bread all simple carbs will do it for sure. Your complex carbs will also but not as bad..

I am a DSer 3 years out. Carbs do the gas and foul smell for me. So bread, rice, potatoes, Beans, sugar, chips - I will get gas that sounds like a herd of buffalo are coming through. Everyone is different. Some people get wicked diarrhea from certain foods. I did not have any food issues (lucky I guess). Dairy can do it, carbs definitely do it, and certain chemicals can do it. Curb your carbs and see if the gas doesn't die down.
Smelly BMs - part of that is the food you eat. If you stay close to clean Protein, protein powders, a little veggies, a lot of clean fat (you need to eat 5 times the fat as a normal person), your smell and gas will subside. By clean, I mean eat from the perimeter of your grocery store – your food should not be coming out of a box.
If it doesn't get better, get a script from your doctor for an antibiotic to knock down some of the colon bacteria (and definitely stop eating carbs because that is what is feeding the colon bacteria).
Even when you eat cleanly, you will have smelling BMs. Half of what you eat isn’t getting digested. It is sitting in your guts at 100 degrees in a Soup of bacteria all the way through your intestines for 24-72 hours. So you are releasing fermented, bacteria soaked undigested food at the other end.
I’ve used all the poo products and the one I use at work is called Ozone Spray. It’s the only thing I’ve seen that will kill the odor on contact. It will also suck the oxygen out of your lungs, so spray it and get out. Also keep flushing. Don’t let it sit in the bowl cause it will waft up and start sticking to the walls and mirror (kidding here, but it will start traveling down the hallway and kill small children and pets). My family is disgusted by my bathroom smells, and it will stay in the hallway and bathroom for hours – so keep flushing it down.
It gets better as time goes on. At the 2 yr point, your body will adjust and your bathroom issues will level out.

I'm 7 months out and still have the smelly poo & gas is awful.. I feel like a walking sewer system! Doesn't matter what I eat, however, anything fatty, Beans and dairy have the worst effect on me.
Hope this all resolves one day.

I'm with the others on PooPouri - I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's actually a really good product. Also, the foul smell seems to be an unfortunate side effect no matter what I do or do not eat, so I just work on damage control, since I haven't found an adequate prevention method.
My doctor told me that this would likely happen before I had surgery. I haven't had much gas, but when I do, Gas-X chewables help a lot.

eggs will have that effect on me. That is why natural gas is scented like rotten eggs, otherwise you would never smell a gas leak.

And their shyt doesn't stink ????????
Febreeze the hell outa the bathroom afterwards and get on about your bidness.
Don't sweat the small stuff...................and most of it is truly small stuff.
You've lost 73 pounds in the past few months....and are rocking a 30 BMI.
