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

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
