Body odor

I am almost 3 weeks out and have noticed since surgery that I have terrible under arm odor despite using deodorant. I have never had smelly pits. Is this some quirky WLS thing?

You make me laugh! I have same problems with body odor. If memory serves when I had my sleeve I went through this. It's the fat burning and releasing hormones. I hope it ends soon! Well the odor that is.

I'm only 5 days out and I noticed my pits were smelly, and shoes are funky.

Maybe my nose is more sensitive.

I couldn't stand the smell of me post op, and not just my arms. It's the hormone dump, ketosis etc. went away by the second week for me.

A friend who has gotten rny told me she has this too. Her doctor said it could be her vitamins. It could also be your hormones changing or your body detoxing.
