Bad breath and stalled weight loss

[Ouiser 19]

Sleeved on 8/23; lost about 40 lbs in 3 weeks. Now that I'm in my 4th-5th week, my weight loss has stalled. I hope it picks back up again. Anywhere ever had an issue with bad breath after the surgery? I can't seem to make it better.

Just a thought...maybe you have a blockage and. That is causing the bad breath? Also when you brush your teeth.brush the very far back of your tongue. Like you are going to gag yourself,smell stay back there.

40 lbs in 3 weeks....think about that.... it is HUGE. I had my surgery on 8/25 and am down 25 and I am thrilled! Have you ever been able to lose 40lbs in a month before? Stick with it, the stall is to be expected. Re the breath, you are probably in Ketosis - also expected. You can chew gum now.

I just took a urine ketone test and its in the moderate-high range. I know the urine tests are the best way, but at least it gives me a general idea. Certainly explains the bad breath and makes me feel a little better about it.
