My husband just told me that I must be losing weight because my breath smells bad. I've never been so pleased to be told that I have bad breath. Guess you could say that i have halitosis from ketosis.

You might notice your tongue is white as well. It's also a side effect.

The extra Protein break down causes your breath to smell of ammonia like a bad cat pan, and the keytones smell like sweet maple Syrup. Gets nasty...lol. But as soon as you're eating a few carbs again, it will improve.

      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?

      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! 😞
