Recommended Posts

i was in the store with my bf and he did a double take after he kissed me and then smelled his breath, and i said.. "was it me?" and he said "i don't know...breath on me" and i said..."are you SURE??? what if it IS ME? u wanna do that?" and he said "hurry up, someone is coming!" lol...so i did a huff and run and he SAID NOTHING. lol. he finally admitted that it was my breath and it smelled BAD.

LOL woooooow.

does this have to do with the liquid diet? losing weight???? LOL. i am so scared, i haven't done anything differently in my hygienic life!! lol. i even brushed my teeth before i came to see him! jeezuus. LOL.

please...tell me its NOT me and this isn't going to happen forever lol.

i immediately pulled out some gum and bought mini altoids. damn it~! lol.

i am on day 6 of the liquid diet annnnd i have lost like.. 18 lbs.

any help is appreciated!! YIKES. :frown:

It is probably from the diet, especially if you are consuming very low carbs. This puts you in ketosis and you will emit a smell from your breath. This is from burning the fat/losing weight. Sorry, but at least you are losing weight. It should go away after surgery around the time you can have mushies. You will probably begin consuming more carbs.

thank you. lol. =/ during the time he walked away, he was pondering on whether or not to tell me and see if he could live with it for the rest of his life, not telling me. LOL.

good to know that once more foods are introduced, the fumes will be, also.

<3 thank u lol.

i told him in the store... i can't wait to get to a computer, i know where i need to go and who i need to talk to lol.

Yup, sounds like you are in ketosis. The pre-op will do that to you but it is a sign of fat burning. It's one of the reasons I don't like to do an Atkins-style diet, after banding. It's useful for the pre-op phase, to reduce the fat in the liver and make the operation easier on you, but long-term, I don't like the bad breath and BO that go with ketosis (or the potential for kidney stones). Take it as a sign of success for now and then rethink your strategies after you have finished with the liquid and mushie stages of post-op healing.

I found once I hit the mushies stage the bad breath went... thank goodness. When on the liquid stage nothing would make it go ie; mouthwash, cleaning the tongue and constant brushing. It's horrendous but it thankfully doesn't last.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
