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.

      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.
