:eek:I know this is really gross but has anyone experienced bad breath and terrible gas....i don't want to leave the house....6 days post op and hungry.

The bad breath is probably a result of ketosis. Your body is using stored fat for energy, rather than carbs, which results in the bad breath. It will go away once you start adding some carbs back to your diet. The gas could be left over from your surgery and it will get better too, although a lot of people do say they burp a lot more since being banded.

My breath makes me cringe. I hope it goes back to normal soon!

I'm on day 4 post op, and I last night poo'd for the first time in over 6 days....*yuck*...and I've noticed that anything that comes *out* of me is much smellier lately...my teeth never feel clean either, which is weird b/c I don't eat anything....:teeth_smile:
