It really might be just me, but my breath is nasty! I brush my teeth all day long, mouth washes, salt water to wash it out. I'm huge on personal hygiene so it's making me crazy!!!!!!!! My husband says he can't tell but I know he is being nice, plus his last tour in Iraq I think messed his sniffer up. But my kids will say " mommy your breath stink" I stand feet away from people and hold my breath if they go in for a hug ( like at church). I am 4 weeks out today and it's been the past 2 weeks it has got crazy! It's like it's in the back of my month and I hate it! I guess what I'm saying is, am I the only one?, will it get better, why is it going on and what can I do for it??!!!

I can relate.

<-----Stinky Breath here.

On Monday night my ex BF came over to wath movies and informed me my breath was like drangon breath, and I had just brushed my teeth right before he came over. The only saving grace is that he is a personal trainer and know about ketosis. At least he understands. But it makes me very self conscience at work.

My ex told me not to worry it will eventual go away, but then he added, "like in six months"

How am I ever going to date with breath like this?

It's horrible but it happens to most of us. It's caused by your body going into ketosis, the fat burning phase that sees you lose a good amount of weight. It passes but keep your mouth wash handy :-))))

Try eating some parsley, it helps with bad breath. I added it to my green juices when my ketosis was really bad.

When does ketosis kick in? I don't think I'm there yet...

Oh mine started in my pre-op diet after about 5 days, and has not let up (15 days post op)

You will know when it hits. Trust me.

High protein diets and fasting are blessed by this. When I fasted in the old days I was very peaceful partially because folks stayed away from me with their hassles.

When you add more carbs further down the line when your capacity enlarges it should clear up. I get lots of kisses now.

I was in it for two weeks now I'm out and trying to get back in any suggestions ?

My kids are constantly telling me that my breath smells like poop! I sing in my church choir, last week my friend standing next too me politely handed me a breath mint and said " you need this"

Thank y'all, I do not feel alone now, and also have insight on what and why, I hope iv not ran to many ppl off!

Its definitely not u. Thank goodness. I was feeling a little alone to. Between brushing and mouth wash I'm surprised anyone will still talk to me!

That's the ketosis smell. The dastardly condition causes your two ends to match in that regard.
