Ever since I was banded on 5/14/13, I have had bad breath. I can brush my teeth and use mouth wash but always have a bad taste in my mouth. I really think at times my breath could kill someone. YIKES! Anyone else experienced this?

If you eating high protein and very low carbs you body could be in ketosis which does cause bad breath. Try increasing your healthy carbs.

Oh my god, I was terrified of asking that question. I am going through the same thing and couldn't figure it out. Thanks for being the one who asked.

Thank you so much for the help!

Ketosis is the process where the body is metabolizing body fat to use on our sugar levels. So in other words bad breath can be because you are using fat or losing weight.

Noooooo! I hate that question! LOL I think they ask even though they know the answer.

Thanks for the great idea

I was wondering this myself thanks!

My doc said drinking the water helps to flush all that out your body, and is suppose to help with that.

Today, I really upped my water intake and I dont feel like my breath is as bad. The taste in my mouth has also decreased.

My coworker has the most horrific breath imaginable. I can even smell it from across the desk throughout the day

Finally I got the courage to mention something to her and she responded "yep! I know I'm so excited because this means im losing weight" (mind you I almost keeled over and died from the smell as she said it).

She was proud like a peacock! You should be too!
