When a Fart is not a Fart

Newbies, I would advise turning away and not reading this post further.  If you are in the brand new stages of this weight loss journey, or have not had surgery just don't read this.


So I noticed this morning that when I was drinking water, I would have gas. So I decided to drink the water in my car, and in a 30 minute time frame I had drank two bottles! So back to work I go, and when I felt gas coming on, I would go into the chart room as my gas is not lady like, it is quite stinky. So I felt gas coming on, made it into the chart room and let loose, only it wasn't a fart. It was POO. I had pooed my pants, at work!

Mind you to get to the level of pooing pants, I should have had french fries, or bread, or a fried chicken wing, something that totally causes dumping. But no, I had poo in my pants from water.

I am 5 1/2 mo. post-op and have never experienced anything like that. Do you think it was because you drank the amount of water you did in so little time? 

I can only conclude that it was the water, but I have drank it quickly in the past.  You know with the requirements there is only so much time to drink it between meals. And since I was I having gas with little sips, I was behind.

I am glad that you have not dealt with this, as it is not a pleasant side effect.

Never trust a fart...just saying

Oh no! A shart!!  I believe it probably was from all the water! Just glad you had gone into another room! I feel so bad for ya!

lol I am noob but I have experienced this a lot since surgery . . I never ever trust a fart

I'm so sorry that happened!  I have not experienced that but I have heard that after this surgery, you should never trust a fart.

I did that in the first wk home from the hospital.  All I was on was clear liquids. Maybe it does have to do with the intestines not being able to deal with water so fast. So embarrassing. I was wondering the same thing.  All I seem to do is poop this water that looks like pee with junks. (Gross, I know).  Is this normal?  I was gonna start a thread to ask about this but then yours came up, lol.  I am scared to fart anywhere other than the toilet at the moment.  At least I've got some exercise in getting to the bathroom the past week or so!  I think I'll keep an extra pair of pants at work when I go back. As a teacher we aren't supposed to leave the room unless another person comes down to supervise.  This ought to be interesting.  Maybe if I tell them the story of the sharts they'd let it slide in my case for a while. 

OMG, you poor thing!  How did you get out of the building?

Well it is pretty disappointing that you can't 'trust' a fart. I have a lot of gas. Morning, noon and night- especially at night.  Sometimes it is loud farts, some silent but they all stink!  I finally broke down and bought Devrom- of course due to the recent activities of today, I should have kicked in the extra money for exress shipping.

The real crappy part is that I don't have any more sick days left and I had to stay at work!
