[betty12 1]

Hi I notice when I was on the 2 week liquid diet before I had my surgery I notice my breath smell different after my surgery is still the same I wash my mouth 5 to 6 times a day today is 7 day that I had my surgery, is it going to get better..

Yup. Your breath smells so bad, I can detect it through your post. It's a coppery stanky smell that will not go away no matter how many times you brush, floss, rinse, gargle, etc.

The good news? You've entered ketosis. You are burning fat now. This is because you are consuming so few carbs that your body is utilizing stored energy.

It stinks. Blech, nasty, ewwww.

It will go away in a few weeks. Keep altoids or another SF mint on hand all the time. Drink as much as you can tolerate. Keep the knowledge in the back of your mind that no matter how bad your breath smells, you are EXHALING (not really but the visual is awesome) fat thighs, tummy and what smells like asssssss. It's a good thing.

Hello, I cannot smell my own breath, but you know how at times you can kind of taste it? It happens to me at times. I just carry mints. Do not brush so much, you will ruin the enamel of your teeth that way. Morning/night, floss/gargle and you will be fine. It will go away, its usually dehydration that does it so drink drink drink. Best of luck to you
