I was banded on 4/8/10, and I've had a horrible taste in my mouth ever since I stopped the liquid diet. I used to use a couple of 5 calorie mints a day and drank my Water, but the mints are upsetting my stomach now. I still drink lots of water, but it doesn't seem to help much.

Does anyone else have this problem? If you do, what do you do for it?

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone has!

Try the Listerine Thin Strips (cinnamon is my fav). They disolve immediately in your mouth and really do a number on the bad breath taste. Not much is really being swallowed at all so it might be a better solution to your sensitive stomach issue.

I will look for those. I did read just the other day that cinnamon actually helps get rid of bad breath, while other types of mints just disguise it.

Thanks for your help!
