B.O.

Hello Everybody! I got a personal situation and was wondering if anyone else had this happening to them after surgery.I take my shower ,put on my deoderant and when I raise my arms ,I smell B.O.!!!!Yuck!!!! I don't want to smell like a truck driver(no offence).Is it b/c my body is detoxing or what?????Meanwhile I better hit the store and upgrade on my deoderant!!!!Darlene

I have this same problem. I find myself putting on deoderant several times a day. I am very curious what the responses are. Keep me informed. hugs, lisa

hey, i think probably is because your hormones are changing because of the weight your losing. coz you know that fat has alot of hormones in them, that's why some women grow facial hair, and some men experience breats. and if it's not hormones maybe change your deodorant. anyways good luck and i wish you the best. also how do i get my pic to show like yours. like an icon.

Hi Glenys, Amy Williams has a good thread on how you can change your messageboard picture. I have included the link below for you. PS - make sure you are in the "Main Message Board", in order to see "User Settings" on the upper left hand corner under your screenname. Good luck. \(^_^)/ Susie http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/action,replies/board_id,4856/topic_id,3062264/cat_i d,4456/a,messageboard/

Facial hair!!!!! That's all I need.I already spend more time plucking my chin than I do my eyebrows!!!I'm going to try a differant deoderant.Susie gave you some advise on how to get your pic on the board.Thanks Darlene

since i have had surgery i have used mitchem for women its unbeieveable my bf uses it too.... it works really good and is strong ... my job is very physical and i sweat like crazy especially in the summer its the best out there.... so effective you can even skip a day!!!!! Stacy 238/133

Thanks Stacy,I'll give it a try.It sounds like a winner.Darlene

Try different brands of deodarant. I finally found that soft & dry did the trick

Hi Darlene! It is probably from your body being in ketosis. Summed up version of Ketosis is your body is using your stored fat for fuel verus carbs. Ketones can smell when they are released in urine or sweat aka b.o. You can try drinking more water to not have them so concentrated. Take care.

Hi Tavia! Thanks for the advice.I wasn't familiar with the term ketosis.My urine does smell a little funky lately.I'll try to drink more water,but hey,burn baby burn!!!!Darlene
