Hi Protein Pre-Op Diet = Bad Breath?

[LadyIvy 159]

In the past two days I have had some serious issues with dragon breath. These are days 7 and 8 of my pre-op diet. I know liver changes can be indicated by changes to your breath, but I was wondering if anyone else experienced this? I can brush and use listerine, but it only seems to work for about 30 minutes before my breath is horrible again. Never had this problem before 2 days ago and my teeth are all in great condition, so I am confused.

Okay, I looked it up. Should have done that in the first place ;P

LOL - ketosis!

I have the same problem post-op! I brush my teeth all day long and chew sf gum.

Yes, it's Ketosis. I would get it doing Atkins. I use a tongue scraper and it helps.

Thought I was the only person with that issue!

Nope its a common side effect. I'll take bad breath for burning some extra fat.
