Does anyones breath stink? I'm 4 days post-op and I have the worst breath ever lol.......and yes I've brushed my teeth

I am 10 days post op and can't seem to get rid of this breath, I am brushing and rinsing. I suspect I need to drink more water, are you being sure to drink?

Yes I really stepped it up today and stated drinking more water...lol thank God I'm not the only one

Here too.....4 days post op! I suspect once we start eating normal foods and our bodies are able to break things down properly again..it will subside! I hope (wink).

Any time I have surgery, I have horrible breath for a while. Also, when you are in ketosis, your breathe will smell funky! I keep sugar free gum and mints with me all the time! LOL

I'm 10 days post op today, and my breath is just now starting to get better. It.was.horrible. Glad i'm not the only one!

i'm a little over two weeks post op.... i didn't notice my breath, but found i was brushing more often because my teeth felt gross.... makes me wonder who i offended with my stinky breath!! haha

As a hygienist I would say that when you are not eating a regular diet with harder crunchier foods included the plaque accumulates much more quickly and stays on your teeth until you manually remove it with a toothbrush as it's not being helped by the chewing action.

However one of the things I see in probably at least 95% of the clients I see is that they completely forget to brush their tongues and this is a huge source of bad breath. I find myself that the soft toothbrush I use can't even do the job so I use a tongue brush/scrapper with toothpaste. And very cold Water helps with the gag reflex.

Of course if this problem persists beyond when you are back on a regular diet I would recommend mentioning it at your next hygiene/dental appointment.
