Okay, I Need Answers. Very Blunt

[barebones 28]

Hello everyone! I have searched the boards hoping to find an answer but I couldn't and so, I have to ask. I am 8 days postop and on the full liquid diet. I do shakes, pudding, Jello, very bland actually - and (I AM GONNA BE BLUNT HERE) my poop has a very yellow color to it and an awful smell. I am sorry, I know this is TMI but I am counting on help !!!

I just talked to my doc about this today. It's normal. It's normal to also have several a day and for it to be very loose. No worries!

Only took me 4 days but I was a "poop a holic" before surgery and figured I would be after.

Very normal.... Your poop will be so weird and smell extremely foul.

Mine is solid now though it looks like you would find it in a litter box ( very small) lol. It still smells terrible. Oh well!

I'm wondering if it has to do with being in ketosis and or all the Protein powders an artificial sweeteners? I have a friend that had it done in October and theirs is still stinky.

Not only the poop and poots stink awful that they ever smelled before but my burps stink bad too. I've had terrible gas pains these last couple of days (8 days post op) so I've been chewing up Walgreens gas x and women's laxative as well. Finally worked tonight - semi solid but mine is normal color but good Lawd the smell is KILLER!! Lol

All normal and just wanted to add that if you're taking an Iron supplement, that will make it weird too. ( my surgeon prescribes an iron/b12/folic acid pill after ). I think the absolute WEIRDEST thing is that since surgery my poop always floats!

Happy pooping!!

Oh boy I'm gassy as it is my bf is going to hate that. Does it eventually go away?

Well, the floating part I can answer for you. Our bodies are now putting out fat that is being burned or wasted the fat in the poop makes it float

Bad Smell?

I'm just thrilled when I do go.

Let the rest of the world deal with the smell.

Just kidding, about the smell part anyway.

My mom is 8 yrs out and my sister is 4, it does not go away. I can tell you that they stink. Try "one drop" for public poops, at

Home use spray.
