BO

Hi, hope everyone is having a fantastic TGIF!!! I have a question, have any of you had problems with body odor especially underarm odor since having the surgery. I had to buy prescription strenght Secret to get mine under control? Weird I know, but even showering twice a day didn't help that much. Sue

I haven't heard that one Sue. Have you called your doctor? I know if I was having a BO problem hubby would be the first to tell me. Crap, every time my breath was stinky he was tossing me sugarless gum. I would call the doc Sue. * Cyndi *

Thanks Cyndi, I did talk to my primary doc and he said that he hadn't ever heard of that either. Oh well, it is better since I started using that deoderant. I think that I might be making a mountain out of a molehill cause my hubby said he didn't smell me. I'm kind of a hygene freak and I like to smell sweet. Sue

I have noticed a slight increase in BO too. I thought this was odd. I would think I would have more the heavier I was, not the other way around. I must be sweating the fat out!!

Thanks Betsy, I think it must be hormonal or something. Mine has gotten alot better lately. Sue

I have heard this is possible because we are eating very high protein, low carb diets. Not sure why, but it has to do with the fact that we are burning our fat stores for energy. I don't have any real firm understanding of the details, but thought I would at least let you know that you're not going crazy. It is possible...

Thanks Nancy, I appreciate the info. We have the same surgery b-day. How are you doing? Sue

I'm doing well, Your pictures are great! You can really see the difference! I'm down 44 lbs as of this morning. It's been slow going, but people are noticing a difference and so am I. I also do karate three times a week, so I'm seeing a greater loss of inches than pounds. I feel great and last time I lost this much weight I had to be on weigh****chers for 6 months. I'm in a stall right now, but still happy How are you?

I'm doing great also. I really need to pick up the exercise though! I need to get some more pics up, because I've lost another 10 or so pounds since those and people are really seeing a bigger difference. I know I'm down another size and I'm really enjoying the new me and the way I feel. Keep up the good work! Sue
