I was told by the nutritionist, while I'm on my pre-op liquid diet, to expect some type of body odors due to being in ketosis. I don't know if it's the same kind of odor you are talking about though. Could have something to do with it, I suppose.

I noticed the same thing. I'm 8 days out. Pitts never used to smell, To the point where I stopped wearing antiperspirants and deodorants. Now...Whoa, they smell nasty. I'm kind of glad, makes me feel like something is definitely changing, and I had suspected Ketosis as part of it. FWIW I have hyperhidrosis, and that sweating level/odor has not changed.

Yes, this is quite normal, frequently along with some bad breath. As noted, it's a sign of being in ketosis, which is a result of a diet that is overly low on carbohydrates, and will go away once your diet improves. Note that some fad diet promoters tell their followers that this is the "smell of burning fat", to keep them buying their diet products in the face of the unpleasant side effects, More accurately, it is the smell of not eating your vegetables.

I thought this was only me!

I haven’t been in ketosis, have no ketosis breath, but have general armpit BO.

I havent worn deoderant for years, but since surgery at Christmas, I need to! Still, a price I am happy to pay!

It may be toxins leaving the body, directly after surgery, or McMust (supersize me) too much meat...
