You're probably in ketosis, yay! It means you are burning fat. An unfortunate side effect is ketosis breath. I wonder if it's also our stomachs healing, and being kind of "smelly" directly after surgery - my dad was always telling me it smelled like I had "sick breath" in the first month after surgery. He seemed to be the only one who could smell it though.
