What do you mean "you make yourself gag"? Are you saying that you force yourself to gag as in throw up?

if you're on the post op liquid diet, it's very common.They say liquids in liquids out.

After you're on solid food, people tend to go the other direction.

Please clarify. If you didn't mean that YOU force yourself to gag and that since the surgery you find you gag, I gagged for nearly 3 months maybe more, every morning when I brushed my teeth and/or gargled. Just the Water hitting my tongue made me gag and dry heave. So far not one doctor could give me any explaination for it :D...troublesome when surgeon, PCP, gastro, or ENT(2)---are clueless.

If you are forcing yourself to gag I strongly suggest you stop before you do harm to your body.

he means that before surgery, his sh*t stank, but now it's so smelly after surgery it makes him gag!

i think it might be because liquid stools tend to be smellier. i agree with a poster above me, i think it will change after you eat more solid foods!

get a gas mask in the meantime! :thumbup:

LOL Thank you Big! You beat me to that explanation for LAN. I knew right from the beginning what TB was talking about and was hoping some one else would clear it up for her before I did in just about the same terminology that you used! :)

@ TB- I cant tell you when it will get better post-op cus I'm not there yet but what I can say is Good Luck with that! :blush: Get some strong candles and even stronger air freshener and put both in arms reach for time being! :wink0:

I sympathize with your situation, yes it does appear to be a more potent non-lethal way of attacking myself. You should do what I do, take a fan into the throne room and blow the gas out into areas where it makes other people gag. Ha

Yes, I am almost 6 months out and even my gas is dangerous now...LOL!!!

I think in my case it has to do with all the Atkins Protein Bars I consume. The more of them I eat, the more gas I have and the worse everything smells...LOL!

If you look at the label of ingredients and it contains sucralose aka splenda---that is what is producing the noxious gaseous expulsions. I refuse to eat any artificial sweetener. Stevia, (brand I like is "Stevia in the raw) works GREAT to sweeten anything and there are quality Protein Bars out there which are free of genetically altered industrial substances that taste sweet.

OK no offense intended here LADIES, but this is a MAN's room. I'm sure every guy who came in here totally understood what TBTROY ment when he said gag and rank in the same sentance. I find it pretty interesting how a guy asks a question in this part of the forum and 20 women are right there with the answer, be it stinking up the bathroom or how big is Mr. Winky after you lose the weight.

The dog gets a lot of blame in my house.

I've always wondered what goes on in the ladies room. Two by two like Noah's Ark and seems there are always glasses, blackberrys, bracelets, rings, etc being found or lost. What do they do in there?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
