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.

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.
