What do you mean "you make yourself gag"? Are you saying that you force yourself to gag as in throw up?

if you're on the post op liquid diet, it's very common.They say liquids in liquids out.

After you're on solid food, people tend to go the other direction.

Please clarify. If you didn't mean that YOU force yourself to gag and that since the surgery you find you gag, I gagged for nearly 3 months maybe more, every morning when I brushed my teeth and/or gargled. Just the Water hitting my tongue made me gag and dry heave. So far not one doctor could give me any explaination for it :D...troublesome when surgeon, PCP, gastro, or ENT(2)---are clueless.

If you are forcing yourself to gag I strongly suggest you stop before you do harm to your body.

he means that before surgery, his sh*t stank, but now it's so smelly after surgery it makes him gag!

i think it might be because liquid stools tend to be smellier. i agree with a poster above me, i think it will change after you eat more solid foods!

get a gas mask in the meantime! :thumbup:

LOL Thank you Big! You beat me to that explanation for LAN. I knew right from the beginning what TB was talking about and was hoping some one else would clear it up for her before I did in just about the same terminology that you used! :)

@ TB- I cant tell you when it will get better post-op cus I'm not there yet but what I can say is Good Luck with that! :blush: Get some strong candles and even stronger air freshener and put both in arms reach for time being! :wink0:

I sympathize with your situation, yes it does appear to be a more potent non-lethal way of attacking myself. You should do what I do, take a fan into the throne room and blow the gas out into areas where it makes other people gag. Ha

Yes, I am almost 6 months out and even my gas is dangerous now...LOL!!!

I think in my case it has to do with all the Atkins Protein Bars I consume. The more of them I eat, the more gas I have and the worse everything smells...LOL!

If you look at the label of ingredients and it contains sucralose aka splenda---that is what is producing the noxious gaseous expulsions. I refuse to eat any artificial sweetener. Stevia, (brand I like is "Stevia in the raw) works GREAT to sweeten anything and there are quality Protein Bars out there which are free of genetically altered industrial substances that taste sweet.

OK no offense intended here LADIES, but this is a MAN's room. I'm sure every guy who came in here totally understood what TBTROY ment when he said gag and rank in the same sentance. I find it pretty interesting how a guy asks a question in this part of the forum and 20 women are right there with the answer, be it stinking up the bathroom or how big is Mr. Winky after you lose the weight.

The dog gets a lot of blame in my house.

I've always wondered what goes on in the ladies room. Two by two like Noah's Ark and seems there are always glasses, blackberrys, bracelets, rings, etc being found or lost. What do they do in there?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
