Who's that smell?

[Asweethotmess 8]

Ok, TMI but had anyone else experienced a change in their body odor? I've never had an issue before but now if i skip a day while recovering i smell like a stranger it so bad. My husband and i had a good laugh the other night. I told him "noone warned me I'd smell" he cracked up laughing and said "oh, THAT would have been your deal breaker lol"

Your hormones are going crazy right now. All that fat holds estrogen and it is now getting released back into your body, and other factors that control hormones are going haywire as you lose weight. So just like when kids hit puberty, their hormones ramp up and start causing things like mood swings and body changes... like sweating.

I noticed that I definitely need to make sure I'm wearing a good deodorant, and I also cry a whole bunch more over the silliest things.

I'm told that it should even out and return to somewhat normal after your weight stabilizes.

But I been starting early like now it's 1:12am I'm gonna start drinking my water and a Protein Shake for an hour then finish it about 7-8am then startin more water. ????????????????.

I don't really have anything to add as I haven't experienced this problem. I just wanted to say your topic title gave me a laugh. ????

Following this same exact diet from pre-op through these first weeks of post-op has most of us in ketosis.

No complaints from me, because I like knowing the fat burning machine is flipped on and working.

It comes with the side effect of ketosis breath. Bad stuff. Brushing 3-4 times and day and using Listerine along with breath steps in between still doesn't kill it.

I think I may go to my dog's vet and see if he can give me something............
