The bad breath may be a side effect of your body being in ketosis. That is a very common side effect. The saliva may also be related to that, not sure. I know people who say they get "the foamies" if they eat too fast or don't chew their food enough. Our body ph changes in ketosis and we can get very dry skin, bad breath and other things. You might want to google ketosis to see for sure.

Well you are in a good place! There is a lot of information on the Internet if you search for it and ketosis is one of the things you are going to experience. What are you allowed to eat? If you are not eating any carbs then you may be in ketosis but to be on the safe side you should call your surgeons office. Don't ever be afraid to call and ask questions, you need to feel like you can ask anything and get help. That is what they should be there to do is help you because everyone is different and you will have to really stay on top of what you need so you can stay healthy!

Best of luck to you. Ask lots of questions here so you can learn as much as possible.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
