I know weird question, and yes I take a shower everyday, and use wipes after I go number 2 so before surgery I don't remember being this potent down there [emoji23] is that to me expected?

Your body is in ketosis. That is your body is using your fat stores for energy. The smell is a very common side effect. Bad breath, strong perspiration smells & other unpleasant bodily odours. If you google it you’ll find lots of information & ways to manage the odours but unfortunately no cures.

The smell is not good but you are losing weight - yay!

You're not alone. Keep hydrated best you can and It will go away eventually.

Make sure you stay hydrated. When urine gets concentrated it smells very strongly, even worse if you’re a diabetic. Lingering traces and stress incontinence issues can make it seem even worse. If you can, try wearing pantyliners for a while to see if that helps some.

Along with what others have said, our bodies so weird things when burning fat for fuel.

I was experiencing same?, found this on Amazon and it is Amazing! I use it at night before bed ONLY when i sense any odor and it really takes care of things for a good few weeks. Read reviews on Amazon...made my life 10,000 times refreshed!!?

I struggled with mild to moderate odour probs PRE surgery already. Regular washing/drying and changing my underwear 1-3 times a day helped.

The first months or so AFTER surgery it got pretty stinky, lol. Like @Arabesque mentioned above, I figured it was Ketosis.

I don’t remember when it went away (maybe 2-3 months post op?). Since then I’ve been fresh like a daisy.

Give it a few more weeks, and if it really starts to stank, try sitting in a warm bath with 2 cups of apple cider vinegar for like 15-20 mins. I didn’t submerge my whole body though (but you can if u like!), i just filled the tub high enough to reach my va-jay-jay and sat in it.

Good Luck!

Pre surgery. I buy these from Amazon by the bulk. I keep some in my purse at all time. You may have already tried these, but I gave used them for years. I also had to switch to only Antibacterial Dial. I am allergic to others and they don't get the job done. Hope it helps. Also, for some reason I eat seafood (seriously) I get a strong odor.
