Stinky!

I am experiencing a FOUL smell coming out of my skin. Not just armpits, though it's really bad there. The smell is everywhere and won't go away no matter how much I scrub it is so nasty! Any clue what's going on?

PLEASE tell me all my nasty Vitamins are leaking out of my skin and that I'll smell this way forever!

*aren't, aren't leaking out of my skin. I really do want to smell normal again!

This made me laugh.....sorry. But, it's probably because you're eating ALOT of protein. (I'm assuming)

Can we say Keytones... look it up.

Yes, ketones! If you remain low carb, the smell will most likely stay. I smelled for the first 3 weeks and I'm 5 weeks post op now. I eat carbs though and I noticed that the smell has gone away. I still put Protein first, but I eat a mix of good carbs too when I have room. Keep panty liners around for frequent changes and breath mints. Good luck!

I'm still in the Clear liquids... just started taking my Protein again today... though I'm not sure how that's going to work since I couldn't get more than two sips into it before the heaves started! My surgeon wants me to be clear liquids for another THREE weeks! (I'm one week post op) gah! Guess I better find some POWERFUL perfume or something!
