Gross But Need To Know! I Heard Pooping Smelt Really Bad!



Recommended Posts

I was a multiple times a day pre surgery, after surgery, I didn't go for almost 2 full weeks, and I almost cried the first time. If it's been a week and you haven't gone, take some Fiber and stool softeners, then pray. ;)

Yes, pay attention to this as it can get quite painful. I have used Miralax for years, Constipation has been my companion for most of my adult life. If you're on soft foods or can do a pudding or yogurt then try chia seeds as well, the combo of the two have given me the best releif I have EVER had.

Thankfully, I have not noticed a different smell, not for the worse anyway.... Everyone is different though. I only go once a day maybe? But that was also the same pre op

YES, get a stool softener and take it every day! If you don't, it's like pooping a golf ball covered in barbed wire.

I didn't go for 4 days after leaving hospital. Once I did it was very runny, and yes, the smell is beyond bad. LOL. I've been going once a day, not very much, and is very soft. I have not been using anything, but will probably start some fiber.

The first time (almost a week post op) My hubby asked if I had eaten a troll...its bad. Invest in the spray febreeze. No idea why...just is...lol :) I'm a year out and things are normal again.

I was kind of worried about having a B M after surgery. I finally had one after about 5 days post surgery, then a couple days after that. They are now regular but days like yesterday nothing, today three times. Who knows, everybody's different! BTW, I am 12 days post op.

I'm still pre-sleeve, but I have some of this "one drop" stuff and it totally works. Just put one drop in the toilet before you go and it almost eliminates the smell completely. Best. Thing. Ever.

ok' date=' since someone opened the subject up....I was a 3-4x'r a day...surgery was this past Tuesday the 27th, and um when can I expect to drop the kids at the pool again? and will it kill me to do so?[/quote']

Honey don't fret. I had a leak and went 27 days with nothing. Unless its starting to hurt, you're fine.
