I'm very sensitive to smells especially mouth odors... and now I'm on the offending end 🤢

I've worked in oral surgery for 28 some years and I can smell rotting enamel and perio..

Since surgery I have yuck mouth and I cannot make it go away. Granted, Water intake isn't up to what I used to consume and my diet has been almost Keto like... this morning my breath was so bad it made me nauseous..🤢 10 days post op sleeping 1/2 way seated upright.. I don't want to have that breath.. smells like I'm pooping out of my mouth...🤢🤢🤢🤢

Any suggestions?

Will it go away soon?

If you have thrush it'll get better when that clears up. But I bet you are spot on with Keto. Increase your carbs above 50g/day, and that will knock you out of ketosis. (I did it by drinking lots of milk when I got to full liquids).

I agree with the ketosis. It goes away. But it is a possibility of thrush. White costed tongue of fungus. Probably not. Come on now dental hygienist, scrub that tongue with some listern or salt Water. Check the back of your throat for pockets of yuck.

Thanks I'll step up on a few carbs! Sounds real good!

Not thrush just an overly bad smell... so bad my husband was chasing the baby around telling her to get back cause he needed to change her poopy diaper and all along it was my breath 🤢I've scrubbed the heck out of my tongue brushed flossed gargled it's going away somewhat with the addition of carbs

Yes I have and it does work!
But I've also incorporated a small amount of carbs to my puréed and that's helped a lot

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
