Hi,

I had surgery about 3 weeks ago and now my wife says I smell different. Has anyone come across this? I told her its probably because I am not sweating out cheeseburgers and fatty foods anymore..... She is also pregnant so it might just be her hormones..but I do notice the smell of my breath has changed.....

Thanks,

Alex

If you are low carbing now, it makes sense that you would smell different. Plus pregnant noses are soooo sensitive!

I noticed that I started smelling like the protien drinks that I was drinking. I could sometimes smell the protien powder in my pores and my breath was awful the first 2 weeks but normal now.

Hi BardotheBulldog, if its not your wound which are smelling, its the toxins which smells. First make sure they are not from your wounds. I had such thing, smell was coming from an inflammation from my belly button (I had a single incision).

If your wounds healed well, then its the toxic smell. When people go on a juice diet or even raw food diet, till they clean their system, they stink. I did juicing for a month and nothing worked to stop the smell. I had even someone who I worked with told me that I stink so bad that she can not stand next to me. Its horrible but its for your good health. Look at your tongue, if its white (chalky) then its for sure the toxic smell.

It may be ketosis. There are many threads here about it. Try a bad breath search here.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
