Does anyone else have the issue of having dragon breath with these Protein Drinks? I brush my teeth three times a day but as soon as I sip on any Protein drink/ shake, I get the worst breath imaginable. I work in close quarters and feel bad for my fellow cubicle mates!! I know gum is not recommended. I haven't found an option to it and I don't want to suck on mints all day!

Any ideas?

My parents had surgery about 4 years ago... My dad is always traveling with work and eating in the car. He keeps mouth wash in the car so before he goes and talks to clients he uses that to help with the bad breath! Don't know if that would be a option for you at work.

I heard it is a side affect of the weight loss it has a name for fast fat loss being burned. But I have gotten those listerine mouth melt things. That is what I use when it gets to me. I also find my teeth have more gook not sure how to describe it and I am constantly brushing my teeth. It just feels gross!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
