Am I crazy or do I smell different?

I'm nearly 4 weeks post-op and I feel that since the surgery I smell different. My deodorant has failed me several times, when this was never an issue and (probably TMI) my urine smells different. Am I just crazy or has this happened to other people?

I felt this way too. I figured with the reduced diet my body was going thru a detox and it was coming out of my skin. Not sure if that's what was really happening but 5 months out it seems to have come right.

You are in Ketosis. Low carb/High protein causes this. Your pee will stink, your breath stinks, and (as I've lately noticed) you get an unpleasant body odor. It's a reminder for me why I used to use Bath and Body works scented soaps and body creams.

LOL apparently GMTA (great minds think alike), we posted the same thing at the same time hahaha

Changing to a high protein/low carb diet will definitely make a change in smells. If your carbs are low enough, ketosis will cause your urine to smell. Icky as that is, it's also a sign your body is burning your fat, so YAY for that.

The smelly underarms could be down to the same thing, but that one I'll leave to the vets to answer.

You smell the same to me.

I think in addition to you smelling different, your sense of smell might be heightened and whacked out. I couldn't stand my husband's breath for the first 6+ weeks. I'm finally losing that now, thank God. I also would smell things in our house no one else could (burnt toast anyone?! I thought I had a brain tumor!). Foods tasted very weird/strong. Everything is back to normal now for the most part.

Strangely, I have not noticed me smelling strange or anything about me smelling strange but I must be in ketosis because I'm eating about 15g of carbs per day. I did buy some strips to check, but keep forgetting.

I vividly remember my odor changing after surgery. It was awful- but was gone within 3 week after surgery. I pegged it to ketosis and hormonal changes.

After a workout, I have a smell that I can't seem to place, but it is sickening to me. I jump in the shower as fast as I can.

I definitely smell different post-op. I don't know that it's the ketosis, since I've done a keto diet before and don't remember smelling this way. Maybe though.
