Sharts and puking excluded from this question, I mean warm gaseous emissions only, do we gain or lose weight?

    OP’s concept seemed to be about buoyancy. In the same way that a hot air balloon weighs more when it releases hot gas, so too should a human weigh more when they release hot gas. So the question comes down to, is the decrease of buoyancy force more or less than the weight of the ejected gas molecules?

      Well it depends on the pressure the gases are being kept under. Higher pressure and you gain buoyancy. Low pressure and you lose it.
