I might be the only one, but its making me crazy!



Recommended Posts

It really might be just me, but my breath is nasty! I brush my teeth all day long, mouth washes, salt Water to wash it out. I'm huge on personal hygiene so it's making me crazy!!!!!!!! My husband says he can't tell but I know he is being nice, plus his last tour in Iraq I think messed his sniffer up. But my kids will say " mommy your breath stink" I stand feet away from people and hold my breath if they go in for a hug ( like at church). I am 4 weeks out today and it's been the past 2 weeks it has got crazy! It's like it's in the back of my month and I hate it! I guess what I'm saying is, am I the only one?, will it get better, why is it going on and what can I do for it??!!!

I can relate.

<-----Stinky Breath here.

On Monday night my ex BF came over to wath movies and informed me my breath was like drangon breath, and I had just brushed my teeth right before he came over. The only saving grace is that he is a personal trainer and know about ketosis. At least he understands. But it makes me very self conscience at work.

My ex told me not to worry it will eventual go away, but then he added, "like in six months"

How am I ever going to date with breath like this?

It's horrible but it happens to most of us. It's caused by your body going into ketosis, the fat burning phase that sees you lose a good amount of weight. It passes but keep your mouth wash handy :-))))

Try eating some parsley, it helps with bad breath. I added it to my green juices when my ketosis was really bad.

High Protein diets and fasting are blessed by this. When I fasted in the old days I was very peaceful partially because folks stayed away from me with their hassles. :huh:

When you add more carbs further down the line when your capacity enlarges it should clear up. I get lots of kisses now. ;)

That's the ketosis smell. The dastardly condition causes your two ends to match in that regard. :wacko:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
