Bad Breath/Taste in mouth-sleeved June 22

[mperez1982 11]

Hello everyone, new here. I was sleeved last Monday. Ever since then I have the most awful metallic taste in my mouth, and bad breath!!! Does anyone else have this???? I was told it might be from dehydration, but I certainly taking in enough fluids...although not the required amount..

It could be Ketosis breath from the lack of carbs...

welcome to ketosis

[mperez1982 11]

Thanks! That makes sense!

Yep! Good ole fat burning ketosis!

They say to drink more Water to dilute the concentration of ketones...because ya know, you're not drinking nearly enough water already (yeah right????). You can also chew on some parsley...awesome right?! LOL

I think it's safe to say that we ALL have ketosis breath. If it's not one thing it's another...I guess I'd rather have dragon breath than my current large self. I'm sure if you hang with other VSG survivors they won't even notice????. Good luck!

The breath thing I never knew was from Ketosis!!! I was worried BC I was sleeved June 10 and I wake up like damn... This taste is nasty!! Did anyone have irritation in the back or their throat with that?

My breath is the worst. I can't stand myself and my husband keeps saying "what smells like sh*t?" Lol!

Mine is worst in the morning! I now have a dry mouth when I wake up now too which is awful as well, not sure why I can't keep my mouth closed when I sleep now!

I wake up every morning right now and feel like the tooth fairy passed by my place and took a dump in my mouth while i was sleeping.......

So happy its not just me
