Does anyone else have the issue of having dragon breath with these Protein drinks? I brush my teeth three times a day but as soon as I sip on any protein drink/ shake, I get the worst breath imaginable. I work in close quarters and feel bad for my fellow cubicle mates!! I know gum is not recommended. I haven't found an option to it and I don't want to suck on mints all day!

Any ideas?

I THINK mine is starting to mellow, I'm 7 weeks post -op :/

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

My breath is still bad.

Oops hit send too fast. But I can taste my breath but friends say they can't smell nothing.

My parents had surgery about 4 years ago... My dad is always traveling with work and eating in the car. He keeps mouth wash in the car so before he goes and talks to clients he uses that to help with the bad breath! Don't know if that would be a option for you at work.

Had a guy who was the vp of sales who was constantly smelling like mouthwash - he was covering up the 5th he's drink at lunch - thank God I don't work with him anymore

I heard it is a side affect of the weight loss it has a name for fast fat loss being burned. But I have gotten those listerine mouth melt things. That is what I use when it gets to me. I also find my teeth have more gook not sure how to describe it and I am constantly brushing my teeth. It just feels gross!

My breathe is horrible still 6 weeks out.
