Hello All

Im new to the boards although I been lurking a while. Set to have surg on Sept 1st. I was just wonderin if any of you guys that have had success have noted a change to your body smell and hygeine issues? Im a big guy and I bathe regularly and I notice that I guess cause of the weight my groin and buttock region begins to sweat like 20-30 minutes after a shower! It's kind of frustrating to always feel sweaty and smelly even after I shower, powder and cologne. I feel kinda self concious about it and hope one of the benefits of the weight loss will be better smells coming off of the ol meat and two veg. Sorry if this is gross ladies.

Mine was immediate and a total change. All of a sudden I hardly sweat at all and was COLD all the time. Pre-WLS when I got out of bed the morning it was soaked in sweat and had a sour smell, it was so embarrassing. On dark sheets I could actually see SALT stains around the edges.

Just this past weekend I did not shower either Saturday OR Sunday - I'm ashamed to say that I was just to lazy and my wife said that I did NOT stink.

So hopefully yours will change too.

Rootman I also had the same problems pre surgery... Stinking sheets and blanket and sweat stains even in the winter time.... Now it seems to be lessening with every pound, so much so i can now shower at night with the wife and wake in the morning not haveing to shower again in the morning.. Nice!

I didn't even think of that as a benefit. I seem to be sweating when everyone else isn't. Just thought I was an athlete LOL.

      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.
