Bad Breath, Gross!



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else experienced bad breath after surgery from all the Protein? I'm brushing my teeth 3-5 times a day, but my breath gets so bad so quickly between brushing. I never had this issue before and have no dental issues. If you have had this issue, did it eventually go away?

I seen it a few times on here people saying the same.

Urine will some times get that way also. I didn't have bad breath but for the first week maybe 2. However I sure smelled like a kitty litter box for like 2 months.

Mine was ketosis. I'm outta it now unfortunately (and I say that only because ketosis is a mass fat burning mode brought on by low carb, low cal and high Protein diet)

Use this time to get into walking daily or some other form of exercising to help you with the weight loss while your still in it wont last forever. Oh and I've seen people say they kept some kinda breath strips with them :D

That's good to know, I'm starting back at the Gym tomorrow. Doc says I'm go to go for cardio, arm and leg strengthening.

I'm glad I'm not the only to experience this though, it's been freaking me out.

      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.
