Stinky subject.... BO

Is it normal for RNY patients to have a changing body chemistry where you are REALLY stinky?

My right and left guard gave out just after lunch today. I smell different. I smell bad. Its yucky. My right and left guard NEVER gave out before.

I have not changed deoderant.

It happened to me too. It was really bad when I was drinking Myoplex RTD shakes. I smelled that stuff everywhere. It was BAD. I'm 3 months out now and everything has settled back to normal.

Yup--It's the ketoacidosis or whatever it's called--killer BO and breath...Listerine strips/spray, Altoids Smalls and some body spray to use when the deodorant fails you! It will pass!

You mean ketosis, not ketoacidosis.,  They are very different things.  Ketosis is good - it means your body is burning fat for energy.  Ketoacidosis is bad - a bad effect of diabetes.

Totally different things.

I knew someone would know what I meant--It was late and I had taken my painkillers.....thanks!
