I had my DS on October 31 and I haven't had any BO issues what so ever. I will say that going to the restroom sometimes is a little smelly, but that's common for other surgeries as well in the first few months. I wouldn't stress about the odors or anything else if you haven't had an issue in the past. Scared is a drastic word. This is very rare because I have family members who have had the same surgery and does not have any issues. I hope this helps.

Mines came on while sitting in the bed waiting for surgery. I guess nervousness and being anxious for surgery triggered it. The nurses were cool about it. They gave me a diaper type thing and I was on my way. It wasn't too bad from moving to one bed to the operating table.

You are doing great. You can't judge your progress on where other are or were. I had the issue when I had my DS. But once I realized I was an individual and that my body reacts differently than most my weight was coming off faster and faster. I had my surgery October 31,2016 and I have lost 123 pounds. I haven't even hit my year yet. So, keep up the great work and you will be at your goal weight before you know it.

Hi, everyone. I had my surgery October 31, 2016. It was a life changing experience that I am truly proud of. I am thinking of making me a separate Instagram to walk people through my weight loss journey. I know I'm going to receive a lot of back lash, but Idc. How many of you would follow my Instagram journey?

Surgery was a success, but I was under all kinds of drugs. Lol. I'm feeling better today documenting my drinking and doing more walking. Hopefully I am going home tomorrow

This only liquid diet is tough because you have no solid foods entering your body. I am staying strong and eating my sugar free Jello and ice pops. My chicken broth has really gotten me through every stage.

So, yesterday on my first day of the live reduction diet, I have a handful of home cooked peanuts and a spoon full of an omelette. Did I mess up?
