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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
