ok.. nope not experiencing it, but i can kind of let you know whats going on.. basically because you are not intaking a lot of food anymore, your body now has time to remove the plaque build up on your intestinal lining... thats where you are getting the smell from and probably the greasiness.

drinking lots of Water will help dissipate the smel and actually help get rid of the plaque quicker.

hope that helps

This has started happening to me just this week.... However, I have increased my Water and thought maybe that was part of the problem. I will take it though! I also kind of think it may be some of the really though to get rid of fat working it's way out of our systems. At least I hope so. :)

it definitely is some of the fat being expelled from your body, and actually the Water will help flush that out more quickly. But also exercise will help to.. because it will force your muscles to contract causing them to move the gunk inside you to move as well. ... you will notice this from time to time but its nothing to really worry about... i guess you can say its a good thing... you know unless you are eattin a lot of hard boiled eggs in which case... its probably the sulfer! lololol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
