I stink. TMI and possible adult content ;)
The garlic breath is often due to sulphur. A lot of protein foods are hihpgh in sulphur, that may cause more odor. GB issues, bacteria in your gut (i.e H-pylori) can cause the extra smell..
Check list of foods high in sulphur...you probably eat them..
If it does not go away soon - talk to the doc..

Well I had the H-Pylori test prior to surgery, but I suppose it could have come about since after surgery. I do have my next check up coming soon, so I'll ask him... I know that maple smells are related to diabetes, but I've not heard of anything related to garlic.
I don't think it's high sulphur, it's not that kind of smell...
It's definitely garlic!

WLS can cause changes in your taste and your smell. If you have a heightened sense of smell that might be part of the problem. I found this in a large study done in Europe published in 2014 while I was researching why I have weird food cravings. I would get some ketone strips to be safe. If the ketone strip have a glucose section and you are positive... see your doc. If you are in ketosis because of high protein low carb diet increasing your fluids is a good thing to flush the kidneys.

It's probably ketosis, where your body is burning fat for fuel because you aren't consuming carbs for instant energy. This is a GOOD thing. To lessen the effects, drink more water to flush the ketones (byproduct of ketosis) out of your body. Another strange symptom is tasting metal.

I was stinky the week before and a couple after WLS. Breath was bad, pee, and sweat all bad. I attributed to the burning of fat/ketosis. So while your stinky and not kissing think about how much fat your burning.
