Body smell

My wife feels that I have a stale body odor smell (like old milk) on my skin.
Does anyone else have this problem?

 Are you currently losing a lot of weight -- if so -- this can happen....

If you're a recent post op, yes body odors will likely be noticeable or funny taste in your mouth will occur. This goes away after a while, but is a common occurance as your body begins the wt loss process.  Dave

I am 3 years out and not losing weight.  This problem has been going on for a period of time

I think this is probably diet-based. I had my DS over seven years ago, and my SIL had her RNY about ten years ago. My brother says that both of us have a sour-milk smell occassionally---not all the time, just occassionally, and it's not our skin, but our breath.

Neither of us have a gall bladder any more, either, which may be a factor. Bile, normally stored in the gall bladder, smells like lactic acid/milk.

All I can suggest is to journal your foods for a while and see if you can find a link.
