I have the opposite issue. I seem to smell less than before. I'm not sure why. But hey I'm not complaining.

Now this is TMI here. But..... I've noticed a difference 'down there'.... In a good way. Lol. I think it's the diet change and I'm drinking much more than I've ever drank.

Ha! I just replied to a thread about bad breath. I totally was super stinky. It's getting better now- OR a rat doesn't smell their own cheese. Lol! Anyhow- super stanky. Bad breath, urine and body odor. Even tho I was stinky I was super clean in the effort of trying to stay stench free.

jd,

I noticed the same thing. I have never had bo, but ever since the surgery I have noticed the same smelly arm pits. I have changed deodorants several times. If anyone has the answer to why, I would like to know also.

I know I am out of place in this thread but might I put forth my theory? :rolleyes:

Burning fat and eating less may release toxins that are excreted out of these various places. I have fasted at times and my breath was lethal, ketosis does that. I would think that eventually the smells would leave as the body cleans up itself. Water speeds it along and proper elimination.

Like I said, just a theory.

Ok, I will duck out. :huh::)

I agree with gman. Also, it could be the extra estrogen too. A lot of that is dumped into the body (of both males and females) as fat melts. It's kind of like going through puberty all over again... Sweaty, zitty, and umm, excuse the expression, horny. Yep, that kinda covers it.

      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.
