Gas smells horrible



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone is anyone having any issues with horrible gas smells? If so what can I take or eat to make them not smell as bad. My family is sick and tired and it is embarrassing. Please help I'm desperate and didn't want to write this but I need any advice please and thank you in advance.

If you aren't having frequent bowel movements, your gas smells bad. Probiotics and staying regular is probably your best hope.

Blame it on your dog. Just tell everyone that your dog had bariatric WLS.

I have horrible smelling and tasting burps. I told my bariatric clinic and they didn't seem worried. Told me to try GasX but that's not getting rid of them. Have had them for 2 weeks now (I am 1 month out) and am trying probiotics now. So far I still have them...I'm not sure how long it takes for probiotics to work, have been taking them for 4 days. I am fed up so I feel your pain!

someone I know had the same thing.... Like clear a room gas. It wound up being gallstones and needing to have gallbladder out. Don't know if that's the case for you but may be worth looking into?

      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.
