Hi Catherine,

The nasty mouth is from ketosis... a state our body goes into when we're starving and breaking down fat for metabolism. It gets better as you get more hydrated and as you are able to add some carbs back into your diet.

My husband smelled so bad when he first came home that I had to sleep in a different room!! It took about six-eights weeks before he smelled better.

This too shall pass.....

bariatric advantage sells calcium supplements in a mint lozenge. it certainly won't cure the issue, but it's an excuse to eat mints all day.

Hi Melting Mama!

I was curious if you have a section on your website to help people figure out where to start when trying protien shakes? There are so many!
Thanks so much!
