Tic Tac Addiction ;)

Hi Everyone!!! Was just wondering if tic tacs are ok to have. I am pre-op (having surgery tomorrow!! Ahhhhh), but was just wondering if you guys think tic tacs are ok?? I definitely have the Protein breath going on (my husband informed me of this last week lol) so my first thought was to buy tic tacs.

I've had them since saturday and actually LOVE them because there are so many new flavors. :) By me I just bought strawberry Fields which is amazing and tastes like strawberry mashmellow gummies and I also got a flavor called wild cherry and it tastes like the pink heart from runts lol

So.... ok back to my question... are tic tacs ok to have pre and post op??????

Pre op I would say ok - but best thing for protien breath is aggressive rinsing and brushing AND inside cheek and tongue scraping!

If you have a quality clear vodka or moonshine, preop about a tbs x3 Water will help elimnate the protien breath. But it has to be clear, rinse before and after....

Post be careful I swallowed a tic tack and it is sooo small and hurt BIG!

Thanks for the tips Pookey! Wow, I can't believe that little tic tac could hurt! Thanks for the advice! I will definitely keep that in mind especially because tic tacs are so easy to swallow by accident. lol I actually did it yesterday when I laughed with a tic tac in my mouth :lol: Thanks again!

I bought the Listerine strips and they work wonders!! The sweet breath after, really lasts a long time!

Thanks Ssilian! I will definitely check them out! This Protein breath is killing me! lol

The Protein breath will eventually get better, don't worry! I like the listerine strips - they are pretty powerful! I also second the suggestion to brush your tounge.

Tic-tacs are probably OK -- but 1 1/2 calories a pop can add up if you eat hundreds of them. LOL!
