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.

Lol. Exactly. Amazing how the body works. I guess it's true... You are what you eat.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
