CHange in body odor



Recommended Posts

I know this is a wierd question, but I am a week Post op(lost 40 lbssince starting pre surgery diet) and I dont know if it is a normal thing, or if it is from some kind of hormonsl thing, but my deodorant does not seem to be working as well. I am not saying I smell badd, but I am getting that end of a hard day at the office smell a little earlier and a little stronger. Maybe I am wierd, but I was just wonderin if this has happen to anyone else:bored:

This can happen for a variety of reasons. The cure is pretty simple. Buy 3 different brands of deodorant other than the type you are using now. Use a different one every day. I just put the one I use in the morning behind the other two so I can keep track. You'll notice a difference right away.

Hi there!!!!!

My body odor changed from hormones and has been 'odd' for a few years. I was hopeful that the band would balance my hormones and correct the weird body odor...and I am happy to report it already has changed.

Your body is going through many changes now...your hormones may be adjusting for a few months until all is settled.

Nothing to worry about. GOOD LUCK!!! :thumbup:

I have the same problem. I ask the Nurse at my surgeons office about it yesterday and it is from Ketosis. Our bodies are getting rid of all the toxins and it is making us "stink". Bad way to say it, but the only way to put it. She told me to use Secret platium and use some body spray and that should help. I haven't gotten the new DEO yet, but I already had some body spray, (well not body spray but um private area spray) and I have used that and it helps. So my advise is, Secret Platium and summers eve feminine spray ( i use island splash). Hopefully it will work for you as well.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
