Deodorant - post op

I am almost 6 weeks post op and have a strange (to me) question.  I am a long time user of Lady Speedstick watermelon scented deodorant . 

Post op I am noticing that the same deodorant is not working like it used to. My body is not absorbing it and the nice watermelon scent is not there when I mildly sweat.   Is this a normal occurrence for deodorant to not work like it used to before surgery?  Should I try another brand?  Thanks in advance for any insight.

OMG!!!!!! Me too!

Aidan,

Did trying a new deodorant work??

Not yet but I just said to my husband yesterday that my deoderant didn't smell nice once I put it on. I use the same kind you mentioned. It is on my shopping list to get something else! I will let you know if I find something that works.

I didn't have this happen to me, but you may want to try switching.  Your body is changing a lot right now, and it might be reacting differently.  I know when I was pregnant I had to stop using one brand of deodorant as I started to react to it.  Haven't tried going back at all.

Me !  So I started making my own.  

It's just coconut oil, baking soda and whichever essential oil you want.  Google it if you are so inclined :)

Plus I have horribly cystic breasts and find going natural has helped that a little for some reason.

The only downside is I have to keep it in the fridge in the summer and find I forget sometimes !  PU !!

Please do not forget that at this stage your body is most likely in ketosis.  Even your pee doesn't smell right.  So no wonder your old deodorant doesn't work.  Your tongue is probably funky smelling too.

This too shall pass and the watermelon smelling deodorant will probably work again.
