Do you mean while in hospital? Trust me. It's not an issue. You feel like shit. Who cares if you smell a bit.

I put deodorant on an hour after I got out of recovery. You can use baby wipes and deodorant as soon as you are in recovery.. Don't "sweat it" haha :)

I had similar thoughts going in. I used to be a constant faucet so the thought of showing up somewhere with no deo on was concerning to say the least.

Luckily my fears were for nothing. After taking my shower in the morning (using the ridiculously strong soap they gave me) I knew I'd be fresh for at least an hour or so. I kept the A/C on pretty high for the ride to the hospital and then once checked in it was a breeze. I was only in the waiting room for about 20 minutes after changing in the hospital gown. Then they took me to the Operating Room where they must have had the thermostat set to about 50.

When I woke up, the recovery room was pretty cool as well and then I was taken up to the room where I stayed for the night and was free to put on deo, though I think the combo of the cool room, the breezy hospital gown and lots of TV watching didn't push my body too much.

Also the excessive sweating gets better as your weight goes down. Mine is pretty much gone.

Completely agreed. I actually get cold at times now and for the first time in 20+ years I'm going to need to invest in a jacket for the winter. No more walking around comfortably in below zero temperatures in just my t-shirt.

      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?
