Hey guys. My name is Fernanda and I am 1 month post op of gastric bypass.

My family have been complaining about one thing in particular that I would like to know if happens or happened to any of you... After I get out of the toilet (after making poo) there is this terrible, terrible smell. Even if I just made a little bit. It's the most terrible smell of the house and in the past I didn't do it!

Does anyone here went through the same?? What can I possibly do to make my family not want to kill me? ???? like eating what...??

Sorry for the bad English!

You can buy these drops in wal mart; just one drop in the toilet before you go and there will be absolutely NO smell.You can find them in the toilet paper isle.

That's the trick to air freshener when you go!

You have to spray it into the toilet BEFORE you go!

Drops at Wal-Mart or on line are called "one drop" they really work. Co worker is allergic to air fresheners and we found these to help with our community restroom.

The original product used to spray in the toilet is called Poo-Pourri. It essentially creates a film on top of the Water that keeps the smell under the Water level....or at least minimizes it.

My husband has the most foul smelling poop after scent. It's just horrible and he hasn't had WLS. I've found sprays and drops just mask the smell. It's still there. The best thing I've found is to light a match and blow it out. The sulfur blocks the offensive smell.

I find a drop of peppermint essential oil can help with the smell.

Poopori! It is available online and in stores! It really works! I have used it for a couple years with success!

There is a youtube video for the Pooporri too. Watch it! Awesome!

I use Lysol at home. I don't know if it is really the reason, but with the change in bacteria in the gut, I'm thinking there is more bacteria, so I use Lysol for its antibacterial properties. Kills the germs, so to speak. Spray it in the bowl after. Unfortunately, it is just a side effect that I will probably always deal with. But it is worth it in my opinion.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
