Ok, TMI but had anyone else experienced a change in their body odor? I've never had an issue before but now if i skip a day while recovering i smell like a stranger it so bad. My husband and i had a good laugh the other night. I told him "noone warned me I'd smell" he cracked up laughing and said "oh, THAT would have been your deal breaker lol"

Your hormones are going crazy right now. All that fat holds estrogen and it is now getting released back into your body, and other factors that control hormones are going haywire as you lose weight. So just like when kids hit puberty, their hormones ramp up and start causing things like mood swings and body changes... like sweating. ;)

I noticed that I definitely need to make sure I'm wearing a good deodorant, and I also cry a whole bunch more over the silliest things.

I'm told that it should even out and return to somewhat normal after your weight stabilizes. :)

I don't really have anything to add as I haven't experienced this problem. I just wanted to say your topic title gave me a laugh. ????

Following this same exact diet from pre-op through these first weeks of post-op has most of us in ketosis.

No complaints from me, because I like knowing the fat burning machine is flipped on and working.

It comes with the side effect of ketosis breath. Bad stuff. Brushing 3-4 times and day and using Listerine along with breath steps in between still doesn't kill it.

I think I may go to my dog's vet and see if he can give me something............

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
