Tic tac

I had my banding November 24th. I'm feeling good but just have some heartburn here and there. My problem is ever since I've been banded I've been noticing "bad breath" not to mention my wife has noticed it too. Is anyone else having the same problem? I'm still the liquid stage so can I chew gum or take mints? Thanks Bill:embaressed_smile:

    My doc says NO GUM ever. You can swallow it and cause problems for yourself. You're probably in ketosis (good news...you're burning fat!) I just brushed my teeth, drank water, and waited it out. Call your surgeon and ask what he allows his patients to do! :biggrin:

    If its nots that drink a lot of water and flush your pouch often and floss more..

    YES! Because I'm always drinking my protein drinks - my breath feels nasty. I am constantly sucking on tic tacs - especially at work.
