Bad breath kicking in

[Guest]

The last 2 days I've been noticing that I've got bad breath! How long does this last?

It's due to your body being in a state of ketosis......I usually will suck on a breath mint.

I've heard about ketosis, but I'm not exactly sure what it is. Yesterday I was unusually tired, I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Ketosis is when your body has switched to converting fat to fuel instead of using it's glycogen stores. It's when you are "low carbing" or not eating enough calorie wise to support your body's energy needs. Soooo...the answer is...you'll have the bad breath as long as you are burning fat for fuel

Hmmm. I never thought I'd be happy to have bad breath!

Well said!

My partner and I were in the grocery store Saturday reading the Protein content in yogurt. She said something like, "Gosh it really smells like rotten milk or cow poop." And right after I said I didn't smell anything, she started laughing and said she thought it might be my breath! I was horrified!

It's even there right after brushing! E-gads!

I'm looking for solutions! Ugh!

Still loving getting the desired results!

How long after surgery does this usually start

Actually, it should have started during your two-week preop liquid diet. If you didn't have one, then it'll depend on what your surgeon allows you to have postop.
