targethungry 0 Posted November 19, 2010 Hi All, I had my surgery last month and am now on the mushy food stage of the diet. Since the operation, I always have a nasty taste in my mouth and bad breath. I was hoping that this would subside when I moved to mushy foods but it has not improved. Just wondering if this is this normal and will it improve? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humming Bird 275 Posted November 19, 2010 There is a chance it is being caused by Ketosis. Many bandsters experience this early on. It does go away. Just follow the rules and your body will adjust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowPSI 0 Posted November 24, 2010 Bad breath (unless you had it before banding!) is a sign you are following your diet correctly. Our recommended diet is high Protein, low carb - just like the Atkins diet...without the fat. Having done (and un-done) Atkins, the breath issue is a part of it.
