I was sleeved on 6/28/17 and I feel like I smell different. I don't stink, but there's a difference...or am I crazy? Someone help me! Lol

You're welcome!

Haha! Thank you! My mom calls me Banana Belly now, and I'm a ginger, so it just fit!

Ah, so cute! My nickname (in real life) is bananie so I find it a little extra cute [emoji6]

I am 3.5 months post op and everytime I would move I'd smell something kinda musty like, well come to find out it was me[emoji17][emoji17] lol.... I figured it was from the extreme change I've made in my eating and because of my weight loss.... It still hasn't went away so I just make sure I scrub under my arms extra extra hard and I use extra deodorant...

It's called ketosis. It's perfectly normal. Your body is metabolizing stored fat to use for energy. The result is a build up of acids called ketones. They are secreted through your skin and breath. It will eventually go away.

On a completely unrelated note... Congratulations on being so close to your goal weight!!!

I'm glad I'm "normal"...... lol
Thanks sooo much!!!! I need to get on tightening up.. I dont think all the walking I do and the bike and treadmill at the gym is helping the skin issue

Yeah, I'm so flabby it's ridiculous. I'm hoping when I start eating enough calories to exercise it will help some.

Make sure you're getting at least 60 grams of protein and 60 ounces of water every day. The protein replaces the fat with muscle, and the water keeps your skin plump and elastic - both of which reduce saggy/flabby skin!

Oh...thanks! I've been struggling with the amount of liquids and food. I finally found a way to get in all my protein - by making a mango, ice, protein powder and diet cranberry juice slushie. The Premier drinks my doctor recommends taste like trash after my surgery. They're way too sweet.

I know exactly what you mean! Try some unflavored protein powder. Isopure makes a pretty good one. So does Unjury.

I got GenPro. I like it. You can tell you added it, but it doesn't change the texture or flavor much.

I have genepro as well. I like 30g protein in such a small scoop but the powder makes things taste sweeter to me. But everything tastes sweet to me now....

There is a specific soap that's helps a lot. I will look up the name when I go to the grocery store today. It happens every time I lose weight. I was only sleeved 10 days ago and have not experienced it yet.

Thank you for posting I thought it was just me!
