Something my surgeon or any of the docs NEVER warned me to expect was terrible smelling gas and poo :( It is really really bad. I am wondering if I am the only one, or if anyone has noticed this after the surgery. I am 5 months out and noticed this on day 2 :( I need to know if anyone here has had this problem and if you were able to STOP the stink. I am not really eating gas inducing foods. I just get gas bad sometimes. I will say that I don't get constipated, just the opposite. I usually go first thing in the morning no problem (except the stink).

I am not a potty mouth, just need help!

I don't but the only thing I can think of is to start Probiotics. You can take a pill like Culturelle or start eating Activia yogurt everyday and see if that helps.

Gastric Bypass Surgery actually bypasses part of your intestines, shortening the digestion process. The resulting stool and gas is more stinky due to more undigested material which “ferments”. I keep Poo-pouri in my purse for outings/travel and have orange oil spray in all my restrooms at home!

If I isn't Paying Rent, kick it Out! Of course right in the middle of Mass is not a Good Thing, but better to let it loose that STRAIN than to Hold it back and bear the PAIN.

Just excuse yourself to the restroom, why smell up everyone's day?

Try chewable digestive enzymes and probiotics. I also think harder to digest foods and food sensitivities trigger it worse.

Manners aren't what they used to be. My mom would always make us excuse ourselves to the bathroom.

I might as well just live in the bathroom if that was the case. I'd never be able to sit at my desk and get work done!

Undigested fats cause loose and frequent bowel movements. These are often hard to control. You may have cramping, foul-smelling diarrhea, and lots of gas. Are you eating too much fat?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
