mverges 15 Posted August 3, 2012 But does anyone else notice that their body odor has changed? My underarms smells different after being sleeved. Probably TMI, but it's just something ive noticed. I mean, I shower like I always have, every day. But my underarms seems to smell a bit funky now. Not cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GivingItMyAll 168 Posted August 3, 2012 Same here. I find myself having to freshen up mid-day. Never had to do that pre-sleeve. On a brighter note, I haven't had the sweat rashes in my fat rolls since surgery. Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted August 3, 2012 I have noticed that since surgery if I'm getting all my Water in my BO is very minimal, however if I'm dehydrated it gets a lot worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Need-a-Sleeve 211 Posted August 3, 2012 When you really restrict your carbs, you can go into ketosis. It gives off a different body & breath odor. In nursing school we used to smell diabetic's breath--smelled like Juicy fruit gum only kind of decay like! Don't know if this is what is going on here but definitely know what we eat affects how we smell.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momoffive 6 Posted August 3, 2012 I changed deodorants 5 days post surgery and that has really helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted August 3, 2012 I'm more lit OTR above, I used to have a really sour acidic smell, now I have barely any odor at all - at least that's what my nose tells me, the wife confirms it too. I don't sweat as much either so that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
