jatherley 126 Posted September 23, 2013 So I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I was curious. Can we have sugar free breath mints? I'm tired of the foul taste in my mouth. Its there 24/7 even right after brushing and especially after eating. I think I would feel a heck of a lot better if I didn't have this taste all the time.

Jen35 283 Posted September 23, 2013 At 4 weeks I don't see the harm. Just try one and see how it goes. I had to be careful with sugar alcohols at first (like in some SF candy). It had me running to the bathroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arts137 1,811 Posted September 23, 2013 Yep, but like everything... In moderation. If you discover you are going through three rolls a day then maybe revisit the issue! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kim2002 140 Posted September 23, 2013 I started chewing SF gum in the hospital post op, I can't handle the bad breath either!! I find that mints and SF gum help with cravings also!!! My nut recommends them!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jatherley 126 Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks. I had a couple SF peppermint candies in my desk at work. I tried one mid-afternoon and it didn't make me nausious like most sweetenen things. And it did help with that awful taste for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
