Double check what is in the shakes. See if there are sugar alcohols.

I will check to see if there are any sugar alcohols. Are there any Protein Shakes you would recommend or do you make your own? Thanks

Having just recently landed back in the ER, I know just how scary and miserable that can be. I hope they figure it out quick so that you can few better. ❤️

Thank you so much! I’m feeling much better now. My doctor said the yellowing of the eyes is due to some trauma to my liver from the surgery and it’ll go away eventually. I was pretty dehydrated as well so they gave me some potassium and fluids through an IV.

Hope everything is okay! The yellowing sounds like your liver. Prayers and healing thoughts sent your way!

Hours! Oh goodness I’m sorry to hear that. Did your surgeon have anything to say about it?

I’m actually in the ER right now because my eyes have turned yellow and my skin.

What are you eating? Simple carbs? They tend to make stool and gas smell much worse. I use this for the bathroom. It's great.

I carry a spray vial of perfume in my back pants pocket to spray my butt, so if I have gas the smell doesn't linger in my pants. But I almost never have it in public bc I don't eat simple carbs during the day as I don't eat them till I get home. If your family doesn't like the smell, I hope they knew what they were signing up for.

The only things I’ve eaten are yogurt, eggs Protein Shakes and I had 2 string cheese for the first time yesterday. I will definitely buy that spray. Thank you!

Mine actually last for hours through out the night, Not sure what triggers it though because I’ve eaten and drank the same stuff and on some days it won’t happen. I appreciate your reply!

Has anyone experienced any stomach contractions/spasms after their surgery? I’m 3 weeks post op DS and experiencing some spasms.

I am in tears. I had duodenal switch 4 months ago. doing great on weight. My family is making fun of me. My stool and gas is so bad the house is awful.

Hey! I’ve seen it’s been a few years now. Have your gas and stool smell subsided? I had DS 3 weeks ago and I can’t stand the smell never mind my family!
