DebHas 27 Posted May 28, 2013 Ever since I was banded on 5/14/13, I have had bad breath. I can brush my teeth and use mouth wash but always have a bad taste in my mouth. I really think at times my breath could kill someone. YIKES! Anyone else experienced this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted May 28, 2013 If you eating high Protein and very low carbs you body could be in ketosis which does cause bad breath. Try increasing your healthy carbs. 1 catfish87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeymother 178 Posted May 28, 2013 Oh my god, I was terrified of asking that question. I am going through the same thing and couldn't figure it out. Thanks for being the one who asked. 2 stept04 and DebHas reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MiniMi 1,468 Posted May 28, 2013 Ketosis is the process where the body is metabolizing body fat to use on our sugar levels. So in other words bad breath can be because you are using fat or losing weight.

stept04 465 Posted May 29, 2013 My doc said drinking the Water helps to flush all that out your body, and is suppose to help with that. ~~~Stephanie 1 MiniMi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebHas 27 Posted May 30, 2013 Today, I really upped my Water intake and I dont feel like my breath is as bad. The taste in my mouth has also decreased. 1 taylor1989 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lapbandster 496 Posted May 30, 2013 My coworker has the most horrific breath imaginable. I can even smell it from across the desk throughout the day Finally I got the courage to mention something to her and she responded "yep! I know I'm so excited because this means im losing weight" (mind you I almost keeled over and died from the smell as she said it). She was proud like a peacock! You should be too! 1 Mizz_Megan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
