Is anyone dealing with bad breath? I'm constantly brushing my my out.

The taste of the Protein Shakes stays in my mouth which is not pleasant so that all i have experienced.

Likewise hon. I'm thankful of all of us who are here for each other too. My husband is supportive, but you all know first hand what each of us is dealing with and that's even bigger.

I goofed i meant to say keeping me afloat my post sounded egotistical. 😜

Hey @Apple1 Is the surgery all you anticipated or is it something else? If i didn't have the headaches i would be completely happy with going through it. Now headaches have past so im happy.

@Sweet as peaches I would say yes! I expected to feel worse than I have. I think I was mentally preparing myself for the worst. The first day was rough because I hate feeling nauseous and throwing up, but everyday since I have been feeling better and better.

I think for me the greatest thing is the hope of my diabetes going into remission. It is early yet to claim victory since I am only on Clear Liquids, but since day 2 my bs haven't gone above 115.

I feel the same way. You all are my lifeline and such great support!

Yes. I have been rinsing frequently with mouthwash. I think it is because our bodies are in ketosis from lack of carbs.

That's what I thought too. I don't like ketosis, but a temporary time of it, I'll just have to handle.

I've wondered the same thing. I struggle with the "taste" of bad breath.

My cramps is the right side of the middle area which is tender but the pain should subside every day. That can happen just take it easy and slow down i learned the hard way remember we had major surgery we are still damaged goods😎

I haven't started taking my Vitamins yet. I believe my plan says week two. I like that app for reminding me. Thanks for posting it @Newme17

Thanks! I give much credit to @Thejeweledsleeve. She's been awesome with her updates and paving the way for me as well. 😊

I was surprised to hear to start my Vitamins right away...but I did. Wasn't too pleasant the first day, but it's getting easier.

Yes. I have felt this way. It's my right upper side mostly. I was told it'll be a couple of weeks before the pain subsides more. I've also opted to do without prescription meds for pain today. Hasn't been too bad, but I'll have to go to tylenol soon. I've had my stomach do spasms today more than before hot broth helped calm it down.

But like @Sweet as peaches mentioned, we've just had major surgery, so we'll need to take it easy.
