Funky smell from your body & hyper sensitive to smells!



Recommended Posts

I'm 30 days post op from the sleeve. Please tell me I am not the only one who has a wierd smell to them?!? I obviously shower daily and recently I've been showering in the AM before work and then again as soon as I get home, because I feel stinky! My urine is super super strong, and I'm drinking Water all day long, maybe a couple sips of watered down juice or a GC Gatorade, but nonetheless being aware of constant sips to keep my hydration up. Also, I feel like I've got pregnancy nose ... everything is very strong, especially cigarette smoke (I've never been a smoker), but it really makes me naseaus now just to smell one of my employees who is coming back from a smoke break. Not complaining, don't regret my decision at all, just needing some validation that I'm not crazy! Cheers!

Me too! I was sleeved on 2/3. I've noticed SO many sensitivity issues since the surgery. Thanks for your response:)

Some of what you are smelling is the Protein seeping out of your pores. The Protein will also make your poop smell like someone crawled up inside of you and died! It's terrible. It will definitely subside as you start replacing your Protein shakes and powders with real food.

Yes... my nose is super sensitive. We walked in to McDonalds and right away I could smell dirty fishy old Stinky grease. Yuck. I can smell everything and from a distance.

It's the smell your body makes when you are in ketosis. Drink more Water (I know easier said than done) and try taking some magnesium too.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
