It sounds like dumping syndrome to me. Although it could be IBS I had my surgery 28 years ago this December and I stll have the dumping syndrome, especially if I eat one bite too much or drink milk. I have been lactose intolerant since my surgery I can eat some fat free cottage cheese and a sharp cheddar as long as its not too much but no milk. You should consult your doctor.
Stinky Poop?

I had my surgery 28 years ago this Dec 12 and yes the poop smells terrible. I have been lactose intolerant since surgery but i can eat a little fat free cottage cheese and sharp cheddar but no milk. I also had osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease which my doctor feels was made worse by the gastric bypass because of nutrition deficit. I have kept off 430 pounds. I constantly deal with low energy and have since surgery. Believe it or not I had more energy at 640 pounds than I do now of course I was 21. I know that would not have lasted and I would have eventually ended up like those people on tv. I would caution anyone who thinks this surgery is a quick fix to rethink it because its not. I usually eat very lite when going on a trip so less chance of having an accident before i find a bathroom. Also eating less meat seems to help some. Good luck ladies im right their in the same boat with smelly poop.
