Need help with terrible odors after surgery!!
I am a new member of your support group and need help with several
items. I had my surgery August 2000. I was 400 pounds and now weigh
in about 235 pounds. It has absolutely changed my life!! I am 50
years old with 2 girls (ages 10 and 13) and only watched my children
before–I could not physically participate in vacations, exercise,
anything physical. We now go on bike rides every day, take walking
vacations and I feel wonderful. Here is my problem — I have
absolutely the worst smelly gas imaginable and terrible smelling
bowel movements! I am lactose intolerate so I try not to have any
dairy products or eggs. I have used "Lactaid" and "Beeno" without
much success. My husband refuses to sleep with me and my secretary
has to burn candles and spray air freshner at her desk. It is very
embarassing. Does anyone have a solution? Are there any products
available to take before eating? Any websites that discuss this
matter? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Good luck to all of
you waiting for your surgery. It is truly a miracle for those of us
with an eating problem. Thank you, Debra
