Dating after DS...the poop issue.

I find your comment about DSers "obsessing" over "ANY smell" really offensive.  You have no idea how bad it might be for somebody else.  I have literally cleared a subway platform with a fart,  and caused people to run out of a bathroom in a museum.  I assure I was not "obsessing" over a smell. 

If your stench is not so bad,  good for you.  Some of us aren't so lucky,  and it has nothing to do with "obsessing."

 Hah!   I had a great NYC subway platform fart event while I was there last.   I'd had Indian food - and just couldn't keep my hands off the Naan.    Several hours later, I felt terribly farty while waiting for a train and moved off to another part of the platform to be discreet.  My daughters saw what I was doing and watched me out of the corner of their eyes, knowing I'd gone afar to blow off steam.    All of a sudden, a couple with a baby in a stroller materialized nearby, and I drifted back over to my girls.    The couple sniffed the air, then suddenly started lifting their baby's pantleg to check if the odor was coming from his diaper.   My daughters saw them hovering over their baby and had to cover their faces to keep from belting out in laughter.

waiting & talking protection was more a plea to be mindful of good health not morality. I am not that much of a hypocrite to preach morality to anyone! I've had my share of fun but now that we are all on a path to better lives and good health I hope we can also be mindful to take care of our health so we can live long happy lives after all this!

Just an FYI folks - I am not giving my cookies up to anyone currently. 

My post was simply a plea on how to tackle the poop issue when it comes to when I do get serious with some and the slumber parties begin (with or without sex) considering my ritual is between 5a-7am.  I know safety is first. 

First of all, my normie fiances poop is way more rank than mine, so enough about that.

I do travel some, and worry too about being in small quarters, particularly when I've allowed others, some that I don't know too well like new inlaws, to stay in my room. I am a HUGE believer in probiotics, as it makes the smell minimal, and farts practically nonexistent.

Any time I've had antibiotics for any reason, I hit the probiotics hard the minute they are done, and then I stay on a blend of them. I don't seem to do as well on just one brand, and maybe I haven't found the perfect one, but I just rotate through about 3 different types of probiotics every day, since they DO have some different bugs.

I just spent 2 weeks traveling, and staying with many new relatives in very tiny quarters, and no one had a clue I had altered guts, until I told them.

I found the Ozium (sp?) worked well.  I got a "small" can.  Got it at Walmart. 


Good Luck to you!!!

One of our bathrooms--unfortunately MY bathroom--has no windows.  AND we don't live far from the ocean.  So moving air around in there is something we'd have to do DS or not, 'lest mildew takd over our lives...and, from what I recall, that smells pretty bad, too. 

We have one of these sitting on my toilet tank and running 24/7.

You know...EACH wls comes with its own "punishment" for making bad choices.  I barfed more in the three years I had the band then I have in my other 62 of life combined.  MOST of it was after my esophagus was messed up, but early on, it could be from eating a couple of raisins or celery or if the crab-stuffed shrim had bread crumbs in it.  Barfing girlfriends probably aren't very high in demand either.

All you can do is:

~eat what you are supposed to eat and none of the stuff that does you in;
~take Devrom or Pepto Bismol tablets to prevent the problem;
~carry a purse-sized Ozium with you at all times;
~I use Trader Joe's room spray...Mr Sue says it's very effective (I wouldn't know), and a good friend used to swear by a Coconut Lime Verbena spray from Bath and Body works.  But they don't have it anymore, although I think you can find it on ebay or something.

I got this Airwick Papaya spray, and as someone mentioned here,... spraying it right into the toilet as you flush works really well.  :)

I keep a small spray bottle in my purse, but when we traveled, I took my bath & body - vanilla spray - others like the bubble gum, but they didn't have it.  Didn't like the cool mist.  Oust works great for me too.  I also took one of my old bottles of poo pourie over to his apt to use in the bowl before. 

I'd already talked to him, because I eat every couple of hours so it was easy to bring up the "Oh and by the way...  Also, at his place turned on the fan and left it on.  We'd talked about the poop/smell and it wasn't a problem...  I'm just more sensitive.

At work I started bringing in Oust or other spray, and the other ladies added to the collection.  I also keep wet ones at work, and took a package over to his apt too.  I really do miss my bidet when I'm not at home.

When I've traveled with the gf's, I always take a couple of different sprays and use the fan. 

My poop was sticky before my DS and it's still stinky, but that's life.

Meh, my husband is used to it. I buy the orange stuff at Trader Joe's. If I go away with my boyfriend, I bring along the orange stuff and I'll do the whole go to the can then hop in the shower bit. So far neither one of them has had an issue, although the husband will often comment about the farts being deadly if I've eaten too many carbs.
