Weird taste in my mouth!

[jrosehahn 19]

Hi guys I had my bypass 11 days ago and I’ve noticed that my mouth tastes different now. Kinda hard to explain but my breath is different in the morning and it just seems different. Anyone else have this happen? Is this the new norm?

Happy Ketosis luv, your body is now burning off fat. My breath, either I have gotten used to it, it's. my armpits, they are my bugaboo, washed with soaps, alcohol the. ( in theory to kill off skin bacteria) put baking soda there, by might call I have the same smell, rather like onions , garlic and a subtle rotting undertone. But it is what it is , on my 4th or 5th different antiperspirant/deodorant, the Arm and Hammer seems to do the best, family has never complained about it but I think I can constantly smell it. And I am also RnY but 6 months out now. Maybe my burden to bear, but I do like the 70 pounds that are no longer a part of me!

Oh wow cool I didn’t know that! I’ll have to look into ketosis! Thanks. Guess everyone has an ailment after surgery.

Yes, it is likely ketosis, which functionally means that your diet very low in carbohydrates and is burning fats, both ingested and stored, to make the glycogen that it needs to function. It will pass as your diet improves, though there are some who like it that way, believing that they lose weight faster that way.
