Bad taste/bad breathe



Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced this bad taste in their mouth? I'm like week 2 out and i can taste the bad smell. It's like the worse side effect ever. I have great oral hygiene and this has never been an issue for me. Any suggestions?

Ketosis? Side effect of ultra low carb.

Yes. Ketosis plus you are rapidly losing fat stores which tend to hang on to toxins\hormones. Many people find their sweat smells worse for the first several months as well as they release all that crap from their systems. Good news is... It will pass.

This is so true! My husband has been complaining about my "protein breath" (I didn't take the time to educate him about ketosis breath) ever since the weight loss began. I started chewing mint gum fairly early on because I'm an optometrist so I have to get close to people. I also use breath spray, and the minty CD Bigelow Mentha shimmer tint from Bath and Body works. I get my breath spray at Dollar Tree, stocking up when I can find it. Lastly, I scrape my tongue faithfully after eating or Protein, and sip Water too. It all helps, if only in my mind! But yes, it gets better with time!

Yes. My breath is horrible, and I get the worst tastes (sadly, that generally happens about half an hour after brushing my teeth...I get the worst taste in my mouth). I drink loads of Water and pray for it to go away.

Seriously, this means you are doing the low carb thing correctly. I invested in listerine breath strips at costco. They helped a lot.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
