LadyJ_OES 10 Posted August 23, 2012 Yes. I was like gatdamn. I'm just brushing and using listerine and chewing gum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted August 23, 2012 If this is something you've only experienced recently, most likely it is due from eating low carbs. Ketosis can cause foul breath... unfortunately. Sadly, there really isn't much you can do aside from scraping your tongue, constantly brushing your teeth or perhaps the listering breath strips. Good news is it doesn't last forever. Mine usually lasts only a week or two when I put myself back in that state. All the best! 1 LadyJ_OES reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jailynn 49 Posted August 23, 2012 Are you still in the liquid phase with all the Protein Shakes and such? This happened to me also and will subside when your diet gets a bit more normal. I kept gum and mints on hand. 1 kw2walker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gnvpur 7 Posted August 23, 2012 Still on all liquids can't stay out of bathroom I'm miserable. The breath, going to bathroom all the time, can't sleep and just got out of hospital after a four day stay. I pray everyday I made the right decision.

Rootman 1,101 Posted August 23, 2012 Yes, as LilMissDiva stated, ketosis, and it gets worse post-op. Also try a tongue scraper, then mouth wash and finally brush your teeth, the roof of your mouth and your tongue. It lets up after a few months and your system starts to stabilize. BTW: It's due to caloric shortfall - the diet - and not the surgery per se. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using VST[/quote'] Hang I there. I'm 4 days out. I almost have to meditate my self through every sip. I've founding really have to stretch myself up straight to help it all go down. I trying to look at it through the perspective that this will retrain my brain to eat consciously, which I never done. Try sugar free gum and a good mouth rinse. Keep walking, that will help you remember your reasoning in the first place. Also try to find a you tube string by one person. It helped me a lot to see the transition in people's bodies and attitudes. The decision is done, so don't look back, just do everything you can to enjoy what it will do for you. WE will all get through this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
