It's called dry mouth lol I had it doing my 2 week pre-surgery liquid diet! I bought biotene mouth wash and breath spray and also kept mints drink plenty water it will get better as your diet Balance off!

When you're on a low carb diet it can give you bad breath. It sounds weird but it's part of ketosis. When the body burns fat it releases chemicals and unfortunately they decide to come out via breathing. Since it's not a matter of not brushing your teeth well enough it's difficult to get rid of. I used mouthwash as well to at least have a fresh feeling in my mouth. I'm 8 weeks out as of today. Most days it's a non issue, but there are times (usually mornings) where my breath is kicking...lol

Listerine Breath Strips!

If you were sleeved and you are not taking a ppi, it could be stomach acid that is causing it. Heck, even with a ppi it could be stomach acid.

It's the ketosis.

It's driving me crazy too! I wear a mask at night for sleep apnea and all I can smell is my stinky breath!

It was better yesterday when I got protein in.
