Gross But Need To Know! I Heard Pooping Smelt Really Bad!



Recommended Posts

I was a multiple times a day pre surgery, after surgery, I didn't go for almost 2 full weeks, and I almost cried the first time. If it's been a week and you haven't gone, take some Fiber and stool softeners, then pray. ;)

Yes, pay attention to this as it can get quite painful. I have used Miralax for years, Constipation has been my companion for most of my adult life. If you're on soft foods or can do a pudding or yogurt then try chia seeds as well, the combo of the two have given me the best releif I have EVER had.

Thankfully, I have not noticed a different smell, not for the worse anyway.... Everyone is different though. I only go once a day maybe? But that was also the same pre op

YES, get a stool softener and take it every day! If you don't, it's like pooping a golf ball covered in barbed wire.

I didn't go for 4 days after leaving hospital. Once I did it was very runny, and yes, the smell is beyond bad. LOL. I've been going once a day, not very much, and is very soft. I have not been using anything, but will probably start some fiber.

I was kind of worried about having a B M after surgery. I finally had one after about 5 days post surgery, then a couple days after that. They are now regular but days like yesterday nothing, today three times. Who knows, everybody's different! BTW, I am 12 days post op.

I'm still pre-sleeve, but I have some of this "one drop" stuff and it totally works. Just put one drop in the toilet before you go and it almost eliminates the smell completely. Best. Thing. Ever.

Honey don't fret. I had a leak and went 27 days with nothing. Unless its starting to hurt, you're fine.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
