Personal Question

That weird smelly poop is the fat leaving your body

I thought that talking about poop was just common among new parents but learned that post op...poop is still table talk, lol. I think it has something to do with fat malabsorption. I know that I have a peg G feeding tube in my remnant stomach and I get a lot of bile leakage. I also sometimes have the yellow stools and gas that is silent but would burn the hair right off your head. It is so embarrassing but it is what it is. The poopourii sprays are good and I have read about something else that starts with a D that is said to help with the gas but I haven't tried that (yet). As another poster stated, unless it is red/white or black I have heard not to worry. Stool color and formation has a wide variation of normal for people with normal GI tracts and for people with altered GI tracts it will be even crazier. The funnier thing is the sounds my GI tract can make and if someone hears it and asks if I am hungry because my stomach is growling and I just laugh because I know it is not possible for it to be my stomach but the sounds are so crazy loud and noticeable I can't help but laugh at it.

I don't know if mine is because of the bypass or my IBS and the medicine I take for that but mine is definitely stinkier than pre-surgery and I've heard this is true of bypass along with smellier than usual poots.
