I am now a master farter!



Recommended Posts

Has this happened to anyone else? Since I have had surgery I do the loudest, longest farts. I know it's not ladylike, but seriously, if I was a teenage boy I would be the life of the party. It has almost become a talent but as a 55 year old woman I don't have opportunities to show off my new talent. Is it just me or are there other farting champions out there?

Hello !

Beside your farting ... How do you feel ? Was surgery worth it?

I am from Sydney Australia ( having op in October)

Sounds like you are happy and comfortable !

I can't wait for my surgery ( can't wait to fart! Anything is better then lugging around excess fat !

It has been great. I am really happy with my weight loss and how I look now. I had surgery in November and lost 30 kilos really quickly. I want to lose another 10 but decided to slow my loss down for a while as I did not want the Hair loss problem. Have been on holiday for the last 2 weeks but when I go home I am going to get back onto the diet. The good news has been that in the past I would go on holiday and put on 5 kilos in 2 weeks but this time I have enjoyed myself with food and the occasional cocktail but my weight has remained the same. It was a great investment for me.

At five and a half weeks out, I find that my farts are finally starting to weaken a bit.. but they were SO powerful and LOUD after surgery. I was shocked! I always had little sneaky quiet ones before. Holy heck, now they seriously sound like I'm sitting on a whoopi cushion. I was staying with my sister for two weeks post op, and my five year old nephew even felt the need to inquire... "Auntie, How come you fart so much now?"

You are not alone. I am continually surprised and impressed with the quantity of gas I have coming out of me. Not during the day, but at 6am when I wake up. It sounds like frog mating season in my house each morning.

But as far as you being the fart master, hmmm... I don't know. You must pass the test! Here, see this pebble? When you can fart and blow the pebble out of my hand before I close it and leave no skid marks - then and only then will you be the FART MASTER!

I don't fart any more than usual but I did notice during the first six months or so that my farts had that extra special ingredient which made them doubly potent. Now either they have gone back to normal, or everyone else in the house has lost their sense of smell. One thing I know something is killing all our goldfish. I wonder if they're like parakeets.

I've had just the opposite effect. I USED to be the master tooter now even my son said he missed my toots. I just don't fart as much as I used to. Hardly ever now!!!

F U N N Y! Thankfully, I do not have this "skill", lol. I think if I did, I would be crying about my regret for havaing had the surgery. I'm with OP - for a 50 year old woman, I'm never in a position to show off with it :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
