Yes I was warned of it. I keep sugar free gum at hand. Its called body ketosis from metabolizing high level if fat. I also keep a bottle of Water handy. Helps to keep mouth moist at all times

Omg I have been having the same problem my mouth taste metal and my Dr told me that chewing gum is not allowed sigh!

It's horrible! I used listerine and brushed and it still smelled. My husband was like wtf lol

Maybe altoids? My friend says I am in keytoses.

Gum? I thought no gum

They say no gum because they dont want you to accidentally swallow it, big no no!!

Hmmm...I was told sugar free gum as long as I didn't swallow it. I never thought that I might swallow it on accident! OMG!...I guess its sugar free mints for me from here on out...or my trusty Water

I was wondering about sugar free gum. I guess that explains it. Are we allowed sugar free mints?

I have had"metal mouth" also. It's weird! I think stock rose in Tic Tacs since my surgery. It's crazy!!

Wow I have it too I walk with toothbrush and toothpaste it seems like every hour I am brushing my teeth

How long does it last??

My dr said no gum for first couple of months cause you swallow to much air and fills stomach with aur and makes you not hungry something like that lol When I went last time he told me gum is ok just sugar free

Gum is a no, no according to my bariatric group as well. You swallow that it's not easily digested and can block the openings.

I believe as long as you are in ketosis, which you want to be in to lose more weight, you'll have the breath issue. sugar free mints are ok to have from what I've been told.

I am still post op, but if you do the Atkins diet right you also become ketosis! And yes bad breathe!! I am going to try the listerene strips (they desolve in mouth) I'm a chewer!!!

I read that bad breath can be cause by the lack of carbs in your diet, it's common among atkin dieters. I make sure to get a small amount of carbs in my diet, potatoes, corn tortilla, whole wheat bread but only a couple times a week and very small portions and it was all I needed.
