I want to add for all the pre-ops out there:
I only poo first thing in the morning.
I have had maybe a handful of days where I felt the sudden urge to go during the day. Each one of these was because of a food choice that I made.
My poo stinks. Not worse than before, just different.
My gas, when I have it, is totally controllable by my diet. (Sugar alcohols are of the devil and everyone in my house pays for it.)
As someone else pointed out, you have to have a sense of humor about post-op life. My family knows that first thing in the morning that I will be busy and that the master bathroom should be avoided.

i actually have a massage therapist (that has not had WLS) that...get this...has gas issues. on at least two occassions she has tooted while working on me. wth...being a mature adult...i ignored it. she is a good massues (sp).
anyway...after the last episode...she apologized and stated, "there is a cereal that i love and try to avoid. but some times i just got to eat it. it gives me gas everytime. and obviously some days uncontrollable gas. sorry.'
LOL
btw...i, myself, had worse stomach and poo problems prior to surgery.

I used to wish (often) that I would get some horrible form of inoperable cancer just so I could be thin for a little while before I die! Really. So a few occasional stinky farts is nothing compared to this amazing gift I've been given!!
Does my poop and gas smell? ummm yea, but so does my husbands and my 2 kids (whew, my teenage son does peel the paint off the walls!! lol)
When I eat pizza and junk food, it smells worse, when I eat like a good little DSers, NO gas at all!! But my poop always sinks! It's crap for crissakes!!! lol
But even on "bad" days I go once or twice first thing in the morning and I'm done for the day! Done!
But I would take horrible gas every day (which I don't have) to keep this thin and healthy body that I have!!!!!
