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?

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.

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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
