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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
