As Kim said, it is pretty common. It is called ketosis (sp?) and what it is is your body purging itself. It shows up in bad breath and body odor. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is just one side effect of the surgery, just like hair loss. Mine didn't go past the first month post-op. Chew gum, shower often and know that this too will pass. Good luck.
