Yes I did experience that. It could be that your in ketosis from low carbing. Great for weightloss but bad for your breath and sweat too. When you get closer to goal and are getting more healthy carbs it will improve. Small sacrifice for getting healthy and looking great. Until then altoids help.

Looked it up and its because I have completely cut out carbohydrates and your body is burning fat because there is nothing else for it to burn like it use to so bad breath is one of the things that happen but it levels out and gets better when you start eating more balance everything out

I had it wicked bad for the first month. I'm about 6 weeks post-op and it's subsided. It was really bad -- hubby said it was like a force field of bad breath around me, no matter how much I brushed, flossed, and used Listerine strips. Even I got grossed out by my breath!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
