Hey everyone!!!

I am now in my second week with my band and things are going well but ...

I have bad breath!!! Is this due to the liquid diet or what? And how can I get rid of it???!!!

Thanks all!

a lot of us suffered with it.. due to the foods or lack of it.. im on mushy stage & in the mornings i still wake up with bad breath,but by lunch time its gone..

i just used to rinse with mouth washes throughout the day more..

im sure it does go away when were back to eating normaly

i thought mine was from the protein shakes/drinks I was drinking. anyway, I used the listerine quick dissolving strips and they worked to mask it.

Chances are it's ketosis.

It is ketosis my dear. Which is actually a good thing if you are doing low carb--no arguments needed. Your fat is being released by your pee, sweat, and breath. So with every bad breath you take think of it as--you're losing weight. :thumbup: Do not try to hyperventilate to lose faster--it doesn't work. lol.

Good luck with the Lysterine.

I had bad breath in the beginning. I eventually went away...At least I think. LOL:tt2:

Thanks everyone. You have been so helpful. If its ketosis, then I'll be patient as long as the pounds keep shedding
