Hi Guys! Long time no see! I was sleeved on Jan 30th this year and I am at 59 pounds lost which may not be a lot, but is plenty for me. So here's the issue: I stink! I wear deodorant and take 2 showers a day. I just got out of the shower after washing with a fresh washcloth and deodorant soap. After I dried off my pits smelled like a Whopper Jr. with extra onions. I think I may need clinical strength deodorant. Is this happening to anyone else?

At this point I am not embarrassed because this is part of the process. I just want to know that I am not alone.

Sorry, I can't help there! But I don't think this is normal.

I've heard that it can happen when you eat "too much" protein....too much with the sleeve is hard to define ....I'm guessing it's just your body going through changes/balances....

Totally normal! I've had a few days of it and my PA says more days are coming. It's from the hormones we are releasing when we lose weight. I finally just told my husband that he had to promise to tell me when I stink; otherwise I'll do what I can. And, yes, bought some Clinical Strength Secret Sport deodorant. What fun!

Try Secret outlast gel. It's awesome. Also wash your armpits with antibacterial soap.

I use Dove clinical protection and I love it

Ok I bought the Dove Clinical Strength this morning and it seems to be helping. I may try some lemons. Thanks for responding.

Me too! And my face is always greesy!!!!

A crazy tip I heard that works for me! Instead of layering on deodorant over and over I actually use hand sanitizer in between, let it dry and then put the deodorant on again.

It kills the bacteria that causes the smell. It works well for me!
