I am 8 weeks out and can not find anything to help my funk! It is horrible!! Has anyone else had this problem. I have been avoiding my husband for a month without showering first and finally came clean lastnight. He says he does not notice it. Well I do!!!

It is all the stores of fat leaving your body as you lose the weigh, sorta like a detox. . Also the anesthesia working its way out. I couldn't stand my own self for a couple of weeks. But it is better now. I think my bathroom duties must be bad, cause the other day i heard a hand reach around and turn on the exhaust fan. Thank goodness my nose was stopped up, but I guess I offended the rest of the house.

Funny, I was actually going to post something similar. I'm also 8 weeks out. This morning at the gym, I was getting ready to shower and I said to myself, "PHEW! Who's eating Doritos?!" It was me! Granted, I was at the gym but even still I've noticed that I've had this BO that I didn't have before and I've never smelled that bad after a workout. I blame it on all the Protein and hormones being released as we burn fat. I just keep showering morning and evening and now use CLINICAL strength deodorant at night and my regular d.o. in the morning. Crazy!

It seems to be pretty common. I've read a few comments about this. The things they don't tell you...Thank God for this forum.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
