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

      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? 🤷‍♀️
