I was wondering about this dragon breath I've had for the past few days (I'm on day 4 of the pre-op diet). So far I haven't smelled anything on my body, but sometimes you can't smell yourself with any accuracy.

From what I read ketosis causes bad breath also. Unfortunately!!!

I'll say it again- I am so relieved it's not just me! If (temporarily) smelling bad is the price for losing weight, I'll take it!!!

Shoot. I have noticed a new and unpleasant odor in my bedroom in the morning. I was secretly blaming it on my husband. Now I am concerned it is from me! Does anyone else remember the funky smell lasting until ~3 months post surgery.

BTW, I have also noticed the stinky pee. I was blaming it on my Vitamins. I don't believe I am in ketosis. I remember what that was like from my previous efforts at following the Atkins Diet.

I'm 10 weeks post op and having the same problem. At first I thought I had super enhanced smelling abilities after the surgery, but noooooooo. I'm just stankin' more than usual. It has made me super self conscious, eventhough I brush my teeth and shower multiple times a day. I keep waiting for it to go away, but not sure how long this lasts.

On top of me smelling bad, I think I have "super enhanced smelling abilities" too! I smell everything so much more now post-op! Like, the pet store, ewwwwwe!

I am so sorry you are going through this but, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've become so standoffish that I suspect some will accuse me of "changing" after the surgey. When the truth of the matter is, I don't want to offend anyone with this b.o.

Oh just read online about something called Nullo. It's some sort of tablet/ internal deodorizer(?). I'm giving this product the side eye until I can do some research on it, but wanted to pass the info along

      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.
