Deodorants / Antiperspirants Quetion



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I was not sure who to ask this question of, but I know my fellow bandsters will give me good advise.

I am down now by 40 1lbs and went out and purchased all new clothes for work. Within the last month, however, I notice I have been having a under-arm smell. I am using Secret, but it does not seem to be strong enough. My main problem, is that the smell stays on my nice new clothing, and dry-cleaning does not get it out.

I therefore have two questions.

1. Can someone recommend a really good Deodorants / Antiperspirants (Super Strength)

2. How do I get the smell out of my dry-cleanable clothes, when dry-cleaning is not doing it and I can't wash them.

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks,

Karen A

KarenA,

Sometimes my deodorants stop working for me so I have to switch out to a diffrent brand then can go back to previous brand. I also use Secret when I notice that is not working I switch either to Dove (you wouldn't think it would be strong enough but it works for me) or Lady Mitchum. I have noticed that dry cleaning dosen't always get the odor out of my clothing either, I have been told to use dress shields to place in the underarm area of the garmet to absorb the sweat instead of the clothing absorbing it. Hope I was of some help to you good luck!

I don't have issues with stinkies and it takes a lot for me to sweat, but I use Dove, have ever since I got a free sample in the mail years ago, and love it. I used Secret before that, and I'm so happy I switched. I never knew how poorly it worked for me until I tried something else. Plus the Dove just feels good to put on your skin (that why I intially switched).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
