    ECO_Sleever got a reaction from Frustr8 in Fun Containers to Drink Broth From?   
    I use kids plates, bowls and cutlery. It's smaller sized which makes the portions seem more normal. And they are bright colors, cool shapes and often have characters or cartoons or cute patterns. It may seem childish but it is fun for me and often a conversation starter; most of my coworkers look forward to seeing what I'm bringing in for lunch and it motivates me to stay accountable.

    I think so. I had one of the originals and it was harder to use and less interactive.
    This one can tell you the time, heart rate, steps, calories, stopwatch, reminders to move, and notify you when you get a call and you can read your incoming text messages. I got mine on Amazon.

    Yup, ketosis. It's a good thing, means your burning fat

    I think buffleheads is correct. I have the same thing. Good news it means you are burning fat, bad news not much you can do. I just make sure I'm drinking a lot of fluids. I also read somewhere else to bath with dr. bronnErs peppermint soap. It was also coming though my skin when I perspire. So gross but hoping it is temporary! I'm right there with you!

    It sounds like ketosis, which simply is a matter of your diet being overly low in carbohydrates and will go away as your diet improves. There are some diet gurus who promote the idea that this is a good thing (it's the smell of burning fat!) in order to keep people buying their diet products in the face of the unpleasant side effects. More accurately, it is the smell of not eating your vegetables - while the ketones are a natural result of the fat burning process, the implication that one needs to suffer through these side effects and offend others with bad breath and BO is untrue; one can burn fat just fine on a more balanced diet that avoids the problem, and people have been doing so for decades, long before the current low carb fad.

    Sounds like ketosis breath.* Mouthwash and tooth brushing won't help, as it is caused by a chemical reaction in your body/blood rather than anything on the surface of your mouth or teeth.
    It should get better when you are able to eat a wider variety in your diet.
    *definitely check with Dr. Google on this one -- I am not a medical professional, you should look it up and see if it sounds like what you have. It's common with the very low carb diets that most of us have to adopt immediately post-op.
    Good luck!
