Im noticing a strange body odor. I dont stink but I dont smell fresh eitger. Im not a sweater and even sweating from workouts dont have this scent. I take a bath, use my normal body wash, put my deodarant on and 3 hours later I have this "havent showered today scent" is this an issue due to surgery?

You're probably in ketosis, which it's a good thing. It means your body is in major weight loss mode.

I agree. My breath unfortunately smells bad. I'm constantly brushing my teeth like it helps. LOL It's an unfortunate side effect.

Once you are able to get your carbs back up to a better level, this goes away.

Drink as much Water as you can to help flush out the toxins. Really no cure except to add in carbs :wacko: It's showing that your lifestyle change is working!

OMG, I got so self-consious over this once that I stopped allowing my hubby to do laundry - I was convinced he was using the wrong cycle or something and my warehouse sweat wasn't coming off...but it isn't quite like that, it's just, off - like if I were a room I need to open a window more, kinda-sorta...

Good thing my hub told me about my mouth because I love to smile an talk to people but I keep the trident sugar free gum on hand even tho I hate gum just gatta do it. But am considering changing my arm deodorant to see if it will make a difference

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
