I'm very sensitive to smells especially mouth odors... and now I'm on the offending end 🤢

I've worked in oral surgery for 28 some years and I can smell rotting enamel and perio..

Since surgery I have yuck mouth and I cannot make it go away. Granted, Water intake isn't up to what I used to consume and my diet has been almost Keto like... this morning my breath was so bad it made me nauseous..🤢 10 days post op sleeping 1/2 way seated upright.. I don't want to have that breath.. smells like I'm pooping out of my mouth...🤢🤢🤢🤢

Any suggestions?

Will it go away soon?

If you have thrush it'll get better when that clears up. But I bet you are spot on with Keto. Increase your carbs above 50g/day, and that will knock you out of ketosis. (I did it by drinking lots of milk when I got to full liquids).

I agree with the ketosis. It goes away. But it is a possibility of thrush. White costed tongue of fungus. Probably not. Come on now dental hygienist, scrub that tongue with some listern or salt Water. Check the back of your throat for pockets of yuck.

Thanks I'll step up on a few carbs! Sounds real good!

Not thrush just an overly bad smell... so bad my husband was chasing the baby around telling her to get back cause he needed to change her poopy diaper and all along it was my breath 🤢I've scrubbed the heck out of my tongue brushed flossed gargled it's going away somewhat with the addition of carbs

Yes I have and it does work!
But I've also incorporated a small amount of carbs to my puréed and that's helped a lot

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
