I know what you mean about the BM's. Unfortunately I have a weird smell to my urine. I've been checked for bladder or urinary tract infections, but they're always negative.

I have had no change in my bm's. However, my urine is stronger smelling and is a darker yellow. I think it is due to the fact that I now take iron on a daily basis. So,I consider myself normal and so do the Dr's.

I'm three years post-op and I never noticed a difference in my urine. But my BM's really are smelly, it can be very embarrassing when I use the restroom at work or when I'm visiting someone. It's particularly bad when I eat high fat or high carb foods. It just adds to my incentive to stay with the program!
