Hi everyone, it has been ...

Hi everyone, it has been a long time since I have posted a message. I'm sorry to say that my surgery did not go as well as others. I went into the hospital weighing 353. I now weigh 253 pounds. It took me about 4 months to loose 100 pounds. I have since stayed exactly the same weight. I haven't gained or lost any weight. It's good that I have not gained but I wished that I would have lost more weight then 100 pounds. Luckily, I am tall and my weight is proportioned well. One thing that I have not ever seen anyone address is a very embarrassing question that I have and I hope someone out there can give me some suggestions to help cure my problem. Does anyone know what to do about the very foul odor caused when I have a BM? Do other people have this problem? This is so humiliating and such a problem that, my boyfriend is actually putting a bathroom in the basement for me to use so that I won't stink up the rest of the house. I hate to go out in public, expecially visiting someones house, because the odor just lingers and won't go away for quite awhile. I've tried different sprays and have contacted the home health in our town but they had nothing to help me and none of the sprays that I have used seem to help much. Please answer back and let me know if others have this problem and what they do about it. Thank you.

Hi Stepahanie, first of all, congrats on the 100# loss, I know you'd like more but I'm sure your quality of life has improved immensely! A thought about bm odor, I can't help with a reason, but I carry a book of matches w/ me all the time, strike a couple and the sulphur neutralizes the odor (most of the time Good luck! Christine

Congrats on your weight loss! Never give up pursuing your dreams of losing more but never forget to celebrate your amazing success so far. As for the odor - try Devrom. I know many people that it has worked very well for!! Best wishes!
