Has my body smell changed?



Recommended Posts

No easy way to say this, but I think I stink. :o I am 5 weeks out and I have noticed, even with showering, I smell. Is this possible? What is up with this and how do I stop it?

It's a normal process in the beginning while dropping weight so fast. I believe it's cause by Ketosis. There's not much you can do about it but it does resolve in time. Just remember that it's a good thing because your body is doing what it should right now. Make sure to get all your fluids in. That's important.

There are so many things that I wish the doctor would have said about what is happening to our bodies that I could write a book!

It is like when you have a baby. There are so many things that blow your mind. You ask and someone says "Oh that does happen." Those little things no one tells you about.

I am very interested in the stuff no one talks about regarding wls. Do other body smells change. I heard the duo-switch gives you bad breath? Did vaginal smell or discharge change positive or negatively for anyone? I wish there was a giant list I'm so curious!

About two months out I started having the worst body odor. Had to switch to a strong deodorant. Flipped me out. Couldn't stand to be in the room with myself. Lol.

Ladies, has anyone else experienced smelling bad "down there?" I pray it's not just me! I am really weirded out. I have great hygiene, but nothing seems to help! I'm almost a month post-op.

Omg!!!! I noticed the smell about few days ago around 2 in the morning. I said what is that smell?? Is that me smelling like that? Get up and wash your A$$ girl. I take pride in my hygiene but this is a bit much. I am like the other responders, one more thing they didn't tell us about. I am already having emotional issues because I am so confused as to what my body is doing on a day to day basis. NOW I stink. Well they say beauty is pain or the price you pay to be beautiful!!!!!!!! I sorry guys but I have to make myself laugh to keep from crying again. Good luck everyone.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
