bad breath.

I am in my second week post op and no matter what I do I have the absolute worst breath. Any idea what could be causing this. Any advice on how to stop it?

This bad breath is ketosis from a diet of low carb and high Protein. It generally will go away once you start eating healthy carbs again, but that will take a few months. For now, you can try brushing your tongue and gargling mouthwash every day. Sorry I do not have any better options, but it is just one of those minor inconveniences you will have to go through as a post op.

google "ketosis breath"

there are lots of remedies

it usually passes on its own after a few weeks.

Yup, me too! And it's accompanied by a bad taste in my mouth. I just brush my teeth, then periodically chew a piece of gum if it gets really bad.

Can you try the listerine strips?
