Couldn't be worse if I was a zombie. Where did it come from?

Ketosis is most likely the cause.

My dentist says it often happens with low carb diets.

I have the same problem. Two main reasons are dehydration and ketosis if you're not eating much carbs. I carry Altoids with me everywhere I go.

Yep, it's reported here on the forum again and again. It will eventually pass.

Maybe I gave thrush. Extremely white tongue.

White tongue could be thrush for sure. If it persists, I'd call the doc.

Yeah I hate it :( I've never had a problem with my breath before. Listerine pocket pack dissolvable strips are my new best friend :/ I hope it isn't permanent.

How long is this supposed to last? I've become increasingly self conscious because of it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
