Bad Breath?!

[Christina760 161]

I was sleeved 11/7. I've been doing fantastic!! I've lost 28 pounds already that's Pre & post op. So I noticed my mouth is all blah n I brush n brush n rinse n floss. My dietician said its fat burning n I'm breathing this out my body. I guess it's all the protein!! Has anyone experienced this? How long does it last? Where are the experienced sleeves?

Yes. it gets better over time and just keep drinking Water. I am 4 months post op and struggled with the breath issue for a good 2 months.

It comes with a low carb diet. Many people who go through the Atkin's or any similar low carb diet experience halitosis. Like girl said, drink plenty of Water and as your body adapts, it will get better!

I experience the same thing. Almost 7 weeks out and still dealing. I have a little travel kit in my purse (tooth brush, tooth paste and mouthwash). I use it at work 3 times a day at least. Thankfully I work on the phones so I don't have to deal with my customers face to face. Can't wait till this goes away.

And I ask my doc. He said your stomach was cut and is healing, that in itself will cause a smell.

I have a crown on one of my molars. I have even noticed that it feels dirty all the time while it did not used to feel this way. It is like there is a film over it. I have to brush and brush it. I am dealing with the bad breath issue also.

It's ketosis and it's a blessing! Google it!

Ketosis for weight loss - as explained above, if the body can switch from being a carb-burning machine to a fat-burning one, the person loses weight. We store our fat, sometimes in undesirable places, such as our hips, buttocks, tops of thighs and our tummy. Carbohydrates cannot be stored like fat can. If our body is in carb-burning mode, we eat when carb (carbohydrate) levels go down, in order to get our energy. To achieve ketosis, the body must be on a high fat/protein and low carbohydrate diet. According to some organizations and experts, such as Dr. Atkins, with proper monitoring (urine dip stick, for example), levels of ketosis can be kept within safe limits and the dieter can reach his/her ideal bodyweight without suffering unbearable hunger.

There are certain risks on sustaining a prolonged high Protein, low carbohydrate diet. If keytone levels are not monitored properly, there may be a strain on the kidneys, there is a higher risk of developing kidney stones because more Calcium is excreted through urine, and there is a higher risk of osteoporosis. Some experts say there is also a higher risk of having unhealthily high cholesterol levels. However, several studies, such as this one have revealed that not only does a low-fat/high Protein diet reduce cholesterol levels, but it also brings down blood pressure in individuals with hypertension.

Experts cannot agree on whether ketosis caused by a low carb/high protein diet is good or bad for humans. Some say it is dangerous. While others point to human evolution: during most of the time that humans have existed; we have been a hunter-gatherer species and have lived primarily in a ketogenic state for extended periods. There are many documented cases of human societies today that exist in a long-term ketogenic state. After a 2 to 4 week period of adaptation, human physical endurance is not affected by ketosis, according to studies - meaning that we do not necessarily need a high carbohydrate intake in order to replace depleted glycogen stores for exercise. This makes the argument more compelling that, in fact, we are designed to thrive at certain levels of ketosis.
