Has this happened to anyone else? Since I have had surgery I do the loudest, longest farts. I know it's not ladylike, but seriously, if I was a teenage boy I would be the life of the party. It has almost become a talent but as a 55 year old woman I don't have opportunities to show off my new talent. Is it just me or are there other farting champions out there?

Oh my God! I was laying in bed with my husband reading this while he was sleeping and laughing so much that I was shaking the bed and waking him up with tears rolling down my face. Y'all are hilarious!

I know how much my husband appreciates the musical horn solo lullaby I serenade him with each night when we go to bed!

This thread totally cracks me up. The gas is seriously unbelievable. I tell my hubs all the time that I'm so grossed out by my bodily functions now. I even belch really loud and its embarrassing because I never use to do that unless I drank soda which was rare. But hey if it promotes wait loss... All the more power to us all

Chris!!!!! Omg that was funny!

All that protein but seriously Ewww not ladylike lolz ladies don't FART!! We poot

Poot? No way! I used to do little, secret, powder puffs, but now they are thunder claps, atomic bombs, blow your ass off FARTS!!! And I am such a lady too, it's life shattering.

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

Perhaps you should alert the media.

Hmmm, didn't think of that, but you are right! I don't think my farts are a huge threat but perhaps a warning should be issued.

This is soooo funny! Thanks for the laughs!

I am a Master Belcher! Maybe we should get together and make some music!!

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, to let some of this torturous gas out would be heaven.

I'm not at the farting phase yet. I'm scared if I tried....well, you know.... It might wind up being poo in my pants! Lol

I always was gassy before (due to IBS) but now it's even worse! And before, 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.

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.
