Anybody out there experiencing bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth since surgery? I'm exactly 2 weeks out, on pureed food for two days now. I can't quite explain it but it makes me want to use mouth wash and brush my teeth constantly.

Ive had that problem. I constantly pull out breath mints when In public. I'm thinking I heard someone say it's the protein.

Ugh. I hate it. I went out and got some mints and gum. It sucks :/

I'm not allowed gum... I guess they think I'll swallow it. Lol they're probably right. :-)

It means your body is in Ketosis aka "burning fat"

if that's the case, bring on the stink breath!!

I had that same problem. I am 2 1/2 wks post op and on the full liquid diet. My father, who had the surgery 14 yrs ago, told me to take a wash cloth and put white vinegar on it and wipe you tongue. It worked for me! The taste will come back but repeat as needed.

When I wake up I literally run to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I brush before I go to bed but my breath is absolutely disgusting in the morning lol

So gross.I feel like my whole being

Stinks. Will it ever go away?
