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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
