Sharing the poo smell with the neighbors

"A.  As a public service maybe spray before you vent."

Actually I do spray, but it just mixes with the smell.  I use citrus magic and it just smells like orange flavored stink!


Yep, I've noticed the further out I am I have more smelly poos.  I think it is connected to carbs.   When I don't eat very many carbs they are not bad at all. 

Yeah, this is flipping me out a bit too.  I've seen soooo many folks talk about how their poops don't smell any worse post op.  Now the honesty comes out.  Ugh.  I'm freaked.

 

Quirky.... lol Its not THAT bad..just distinctive... and if worrying about offending coworkers makes you not want surgery or choose one you know isn't as effective.. You may want to rethink the DS...

personally, I don't give a frig that my coworkers smell it.. I work in a building with 3000 people. Their **** doesn't smell like roses either..

seriously though..would you really let a little funky smelling poop stop you from getting a wonderful way to become healthy again?

I really hope you are kidding... I will assume you were.

(edited to remove Panda's name.. I realized after the fact she wasn't taking it soo seriously.. :)  )

I don't need to rethink anything.  Been researching it for 5 years.  My mind is made up.

That said, I thought the whole "poop smelling like a rotting carcass" thing was largely an exaggeration.  It's just this thread frightened me.  I can deal with it.  I've dealt with being fat since I was 5.  I'm just dreading smelling like a walking corpse now.

I've heard of this a few times, but in my 5 months since getting the DS haven't experienced it yet. The closest thing to these wild storied I've experienced is when I ate a bunch of Dreamfields pasta and it turned my into a methane factory for a few hours. The amount of gas I produced was impressive, but there was very little smell to go along with all the gas. Heck Barb can sneak out a much more lethal SBD than what the pasta gave me.

I'm guessing that everyone is different and that means you won't know how your system is going to respond until you get your DS. Once you get your DS, you will figure out what you can and can't eat to get the desired result.

Thanks, Kerry.  That makes me feel better.  I know it's largely dependent on the person and their diet.  I've scaled back on carbs a lot in the last year since being diagnosed with insulin resistance.  I'm already a gas factory so, it's just hard for me to fathom it getting any worse than it already is.  I mean, really, I could put most men to shame.  And I'm embarrassed admitting that as a pre-op.

I'm glad to see there are products to help combat the scent.  I knew Febreze and Lysol wouldn't be effective. 

See you got the DS spirit!! :) turn lemons into lemonaide.. its not that bad.. just fun to poke fun at at times...

hahaha oh my gosh!! that was soooooo funny!!!!!
