Yes I was warned of it. I keep sugar free gum at hand. Its called body ketosis from metabolizing high level if fat. I also keep a bottle of Water handy. Helps to keep mouth moist at all times

Omg I have been having the same problem my mouth taste metal and my Dr told me that chewing gum is not allowed sigh!

It's horrible! I used listerine and brushed and it still smelled. My husband was like wtf lol

Maybe altoids? My friend says I am in keytoses.

Gum? I thought no gum

[Jen2248 31]

They say no gum because they dont want you to accidentally swallow it, big no no!!

Hmmm...I was told sugar free gum as long as I didn't swallow it. I never thought that I might swallow it on accident! OMG!...I guess its sugar free mints for me from here on out...or my trusty Water

I was wondering about sugar free gum. I guess that explains it. Are we allowed sugar free mints?

Wow I have it too I walk with toothbrush and toothpaste it seems like every hour I am brushing my teeth

[armywifet 26]

How long does it last??

[josee67 40]

My dr said no gum for first couple of months cause you swallow to much air and fills stomach with aur and makes you not hungry something like that lol When I went last time he told me gum is ok just sugar free

[LosingItForMe2011 320]

Gum is a no, no according to my bariatric group as well. You swallow that it's not easily digested and can block the openings.

I believe as long as you are in ketosis, which you want to be in to lose more weight, you'll have the breath issue. sugar free mints are ok to have from what I've been told.

I am still post op, but if you do the Atkins diet right you also become ketosis! And yes bad breathe!! I am going to try the listerene strips (they desolve in mouth) I'm a chewer!!!
