Persistent Dragon Butt
Weight loss surgery creates many changes in your life; most are good, some are very difficult, and a few are just plain weird. During the rapid weight loss phase, many people wake up in the morning with ketosis-driven dragon breath of the sort that neither mouthwash nor brushing your teeth can even begin to address. I don’t think that I have that kind of dragon breath in the morning any more, but at almost 3 years out I do know that I have persistent dragon butt. For the first hour after I wake up all sources of open flame must be avoided for fear that I might be responsible for incinerating my surroundings. Seriously. It even embarrasses ME sometimes, the man who thinks every fart reference in a book or a movie is funny, who has written and publicly disclosed poetry and prose related to the joy of farting, and who, at age 50, is still proud of being able to make exceptionally loud fake fart sounds.
Am I the only one who suffers from this dreaded malady?

I know the problem, exactly. I was never one for publicly 'announcing' myself... 'born to be a lady'. lol... But after the RNY, I can, proudly, clear the room... lol..
I have found one little saving grace. BEANO... !!!!
I don't take the pill everyday, because I don't need it everyday... but I do take it when I'm feeling gassy... it works so nicely.. takes a couple of hours but so worth the wait..
BEANO takes away most of the stink and a lot of the 'explosion'...
If I'm planning on a weekend at home, I won't take it at all... My 16 year old son has discovered an advisary in his mother and challenges me to contests.... the loudest, the most silent, the wall banger... the floor vibrator... and the best of all .... the most 'hang' time..
I think kids need to learn that just because their parents are 'old', they can still be formidable in their own areas of expertise... lol lol...

I understand his pain but can't stop laughing at it, either.
My family cracks up. I have been able to pay my hubby back for 43 years of his "rottenness" I have even driven him out of the room. Love it.
When I'm in public - I take something for it, but when I'm home - I let it fly.!
