Embarrassing to ask but

does anyone know why "gas"

it smells so bad? We just get a little smaller stomach why does it smell like this ugh?

It has been pretty bad for me too. Although I was notorious before the surgery so nothing has changed for me.

I feel your pain....... my dog is threatening to leave home rather than suffer through the noxious after-effects of these pre-op shakes! I say "payback time, Mister!!"

Are you using milk or whey Protein in your shakes? Could it be the dairy?

I read someplace that many overwieght people have no idea that they're lactose intolerant because they eat a lot and have no idea what is making them gassy and I also read that some people who were not lactose intolerant before surgery can be intolerant after surgery....

My nutritionist told me (way before surgery) that you really shouldn't be eating things that cause you to be gassy and cause digestive issues. Most people think it's 'natural' but it's really a reaction to something you're eating or drinking. He recommended cutting out dairy and gluten and I did and no more digestive issues after only a few days.... Of course, I couldn't stick to it but it made it easier to indentify something that didn't agree with me.

Granted, things change after surgery and maybe it's part of the process and will get better as you heal?

A lot of it could have to do with the protein shakes you are on. I know during pre-op when I started all the protein shakes I was horrible and hubby couldn't stand to be around me when I was gassy. Then again your body has gone through a lot and it has to get it's self back to normal. It will over time get better I promise!! I am 2 months out and haven't had stinky gas for awhile. However I have been dealing with a sour stomach which is worse then stinky gas at times..

Im lactose intolerant allready before my surgery. I buy stuff for lactose free basis. Im 5 months out and

I dont have gas 24 hour but when it came it really smell. I just wonder why.

I dont eat food like onion or beans and I cant drink protein shakes I try but It came up in few sec.

I don't have stinkier ones just way more frequent...omigosh!

It's a pretty bad fart when the dog shakes it's head and leaves the room
