I am now a master farter!



Recommended Posts

I've always said if you aren't comfortable enough with someone to fart in front of them, then you shouldn't consider having a long-term romantic relationship with them.

Chris R, too funny, that is what my fiance always tells me. He says his farting in front of me speaks of how much he truly loves me, lol. I can honestly say, I have not suffered from the farting phenomena. I too, hardly ever toot.

I cannot wait for this side effect! I will finally be able to outfart the men I work with! Imagining their faces is priceless.

I found that eating steamed cauliflower seems to add to the volume of gas I produce. You might want to consider adding it to your arsenal. :P

Although it hasn't increased the aroma, it has made a considerable difference in volume!

I always was gassy before (due to IBS) but now it's even worse! And before' date=' a lot of times it was just air but now, 9 times out of 10, it reeks! It's embarrassing. I used to be able to do it in my corner at work and get away with it but now it stinks up the whole room. I was 3 months post-op when I started dating my last boyfriend and I tried so hard to hide it but I don't think I was very good at it. We'd go to bed at night and he always wanted to spoon. I'm sure he noticed me tensing my entire body (to try to hold it in). Now that I'm single again, it's one of my biggest worries about finding someone new. That's ridiculous! I've brought it up at my last two follow-up appointments and the CNP didn't seem too concerned or offer any advice.[/quote']

I have IBS too and I'm newly sleeved. I don't know the impact it will have on me. Pre-sleeve I had a HUGE SMELLY has problem. One thing that helped immensely was using a probiotic. I used Align which is highly recommended by gastroenterologists. It's expensive but worth every single penny. I'm not sure how it will work post op. pre op it was a dream! It took my gas away and made me feel so much better.

I'm a week out and have SO MUCH GAS INSIDE me that is killing me. I would LOVE to fart and belch like an old beer belly man. seriously' date=' to let some of this torturous gas out would be heaven.[/quote']

A week out, it's probably not the toot-able kind and is most likely the gas they fill your abdomen up with when they do the surgery. It's not in your intestine so you can't pass it. It has to be absorbed through your cells. Walking helps it go away faster!

I think you need to declare this talent right at the start of the relationship. Guys love that burping and farting thing! Before you know it you will be the life of the party. I can just hear him now, " come on Babe show them what you can do" and as you let one rip his mates will erupt into a round of applause. Embrace this new talent you have!

lmao, this is a five star topic.

Ironically, I seem to fart a lot less now, but I burp more.

BAHAHAHAHAHAA!! I love it. I can't wait to back up into my husband under the covers and let one rip. Payback after 18 years of enduring the same from him. WOOOOOT!!

Now that's funny!

It varies with me. I wear a CPAP at night with a pretty high setting. If my 3 year old son sleeps in bed with us, then look out. I have to sleep on my side when he's in there. This means too much pressure and lots of swallowed air. No lying, I can bust a 30 second fart in the morning no problem (and probably several more during the night).

I have dragged this thread back out because I am still seeing people who need to declare this problem. I finally revealed this problem to my partner, he was not impressed. My Granddaughter thinks I am a champion. She wants to take me for show and tell next week.

Awesome. I had hoped this went away when I got to solid food. Not so far. At least they don't have "cargo" like during the liquid phase. I'd apologize for TMI but this whole thread is TMI!

I think I need to now seek help for this problem. Any suggestions of miracle cures would be greatly appreciated.

Things have gotten so much better for me since I started on a course of a strong probiotic. I saw relied after the second dose. I will continue for a month, go off it and see how I do. This was recommended by my new dietitian. She said I may need to go back on for a month a couple times a year.

I, too, have become a mistress of gaseous emissions. I'm pretty sure that the methane I'm generating may be accelerating global warming by several years. The up side is that I can get revenge on my dogs, who--although quite small--are experts at the SBD stank bomb. Now they leave the room because of ME. throwroses.sml.gif

I teach middle school--my street cred is about to go THROUGH THE ROOF, for I shall crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women. opera.gif

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
