Hey I had surgery 8/19 and I have noticed along with hubby that I have bad breath!!! I have started taking a toothbrush to work so I can brush my teeth at all time during the day!! I called the dr and he said bc I am losing weight that it is ketosis of the breath. . It is like my breath smells like iron or like medicine!! Please someone tell me how to get rid of this bc I work in the public and I talk all day to everyone from patients to dr's to hospitial board members. Currently I have bags of soft peppermints that I suck on but sometimes I run out and I will have to rush to my office to get more bc I don't want to have bad breath!!!! Please someone help me. I go back to the dr on 9/3 for follow up.

Ok thank

Work today was 6/10. I wanted a nap bit home resting before I get kiddos.and head to the gym later. Will make sure I drink (sip) on a protein shake before the gym.

Yeah back to work tomorrow as well. I am setting my click earlier so i can get all my vitamins in before I have to get kiddos (1 and 4) ready for school. I have only my liquid pain meds at night so I can turn over without the pain(pulling). I was shocked that I actually was asleep on my stomatch. Working on getting these liquids(water) in along with my protein shake(EAS). I was surprised that these past 2 nights I have been getting hungry. I warmed up some miso soup about less than a 1/2 cup and felt full. I tried out my cup with a straw today and I don't get gas as quickly but I still take my liquid gas -x. Honestly I would rather burp than pass gas.. (TMI sorry). Hubby goes in on 9/21 so he is watching me like like a hawk. He really has been wonderful. I am going back to the gym tomorrow so I will you guys know how that goes. Overall today was 8/10. 10=good day. This has really helped me so much.

Feeling tired a lot. Want to sleep and sip. About to walk the hall again. Pain not to bad at all but getting my meds regularly which helps for when the burps happens. But overall I and 4/10.

@@thinkingthin15 I will pray the same for you.

Congrats!!! I go in 8/19 @ 7 am so I am just resting up mentally preparing

As the 19th approaches I am getting nervous!! It is a mix feeling of am I sure?? bc I can't change my mind on the 21st and I am doing well with watching what I am eating and working out everyday along with why did it take me this long to want to get healthy?

Hey I just downloaded my fitness pal app and need support. Add me TLCSexyMom. I did my EGD on 7/10 and will meet with the dr. on Wednesday to set up surgery date. My Dr only request a pre op diet the day before surgery which he will go over on 7/15 but I really want to start eating better and exercising more.

Congratulations

All wonderful info!!!

Wanted to know how soon after sleeve surgery do u guys recommend to start a cardio/weight lifting program to help avoid the loose skin around waist and arms? any suggestions?

Thanks so much for the advice!!

Congratulations!! I go for EGD 7/10 and should get surgery date then. Hopefully it will be in Aug

I got get the EGD 7/10 and after that will get the surgery date per dr. That the last thing to do so I was wondering do I or can I do any pre op diet to help lose weight before I actually get pre op diet. I hope that will help to get a quicker surgery date. Any suggestions???

#sharon1964 I am already approved. I call the office tomorrow to see if its ok to start a pre op diet before they give me a pre op diet. I guess it boils down to I am getting anxious and ready to have surgery.

#missersk Thanks for the advice.
