Search this site or just Google ketosis. This happens when your body undergoes a drastic drop in carbs. Acetone is secreted by your body, especially in your saliva, which is just nasty. Once you get your carbs back up, it will go away.

Did you research ketosis? This is quite common right after surgery ...

Do you have a metallic taste in your mouth?

Yes ketosis. My son kept saying the same thing. It goes away. Use sugar free mints!

I live in sugar free mints. I can't stand it, I talk entirely too much for my breath to be out of pocket! Does anyone know about how LONG this travesty will last?
