I had ketosis manifest itself in my underarms. :faint: So even as a heavy person I was never one who sweat a lot, but as my body burned fat, it was secreted in my underarms

Oh my gosh! My underarms smell like onions, even after just getting out of the shower! WHat is this?? Hormones? Fat burning? Also, I did notice that my urine was smelling much stronger, not to be gross, but almost like salmon! I apologize for being so graphic, but it did. I added some carbs the past couple of days and it is gone.

Oh thank God its not just me!! The urine thing I've had for like, the past 19 months, since banding! I actually put it down to eating alot of tuna LOL.. cause when I worked in nursing homes, I noticed that when the residents ate fish during the day, their urine smelt fishy at night *shrugs*.

Will try adding more carbs as you suggested.

Jess, I don't know if it was the carbs that made it go away. I was on soft Proteins only when this happened and I was eating alot of salmon, lox with cream cheese and canned salmon, so I think that might have been it, but there were days when I didn't eat the salmon that the urine was strong. It did go away when I added carbs, but I wasn't really having ANY at the time, so I don't really know if that was the 'cure' or not. Good luck!

I sure am glad someone else is having this problem. I didn't know if there was something wrong with me. I'm one week post op, and just a couple of days after the surgery, my wife noticed the dragon breath and now i cant get rid of it. i'll try the pointers given out. thanks.

Jon one week and down 20lb, pre-op and all.

Oh god Jon, sorry to hear you're having problems with this too. My friends and I were just laughing about it the other day, since they were the ones who told me about it. I didn't catch on that they were rolling the windows down in the car. lol. Congrats on your band and best of luck!
