Has anyone noticed stronger body odor after surgery?
I'm about 2 1/2 weeks out and my deodorant has started not working! Definitely stinkier, especially the underarms. I'm not sure about the ketosis but I wondered the same.
Haha same here! I thought it's because I've really stepped up my walking lately...this makes more sense.

I experienced that too but it was a temporary state as my hormones leveled out :)

I am not sure about ketosis, wouldn't that smell sweet? Anyway...almost 5 mo ths out and I had to switch to an aerosol deorderant(which I hate...environmentally speaking) because I stunk! It must be hormones because the same thing happened to me for awhile after I had my child.
The human body is an amazing thing!
