bad breathe



Recommended Posts

does anyone have any problem with their breathe. My wife told me my breathe smells bad since the surgery. Just wondering because i brush my teeth at least 3x a day and now I have to use sugar free fresheners during the day.

Does your doctor try to get you into ketosis? I have heard that that will give you bad breath.

I agree with Tinksmom, it's probably because you are in ketosis.

You need to eat more healthy carbs and the problem will go away.

I had bad breath for a little while after surgery. My dr told me it was because everything was swollen and kinda open that after the swelling went down it would go back to normal. Everything is fine now, unless of course I dont brush my teeth!

I too have had a problem with bad breath - a sweet taste in mouth that I can't seem to get rid of. It does make me not want anything sweet thought.

My mouth always tastes yucky. I'm constantly taking sugar-free mints at work--especially before any in person meetings. I brush my teeth a lot at home too. I think it is ketosis. My Dr. doesn't want me eating many carbs, so I'm sure that is the problem.

fyi-per my dentist, sugar fee mints have sorbitol...an alcohol....which is drying and causes bad breath.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
