Hello!!

I am Lisa and I have not had my surgery just yet. Hoping to have it Soon one last Nut appointment and then we go for approval!!

I do know the answer to this one my Nut said that when you start to lose the weight because of the amount of fats and sugars is limited your breath will start to smell,

I am on a low carb, sugar free (under 5gms) per item for a month now and that was one of my questions. She said to try a sugar free mint to suck on. I have them now in my purse all the time so that may help. She did say it will go away.

Best of Luck and you are doing great!

I think the bad breath is because of the lack of carbs in our diets. I don't think I had this - at least no one told me I did! - so I don't have any tips. But good luck!

I started at 324lbs and a size 26. After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011. My second daughter was born in September 2013. I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs. I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter. The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls. My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.

Yep...totally normal, you're in ketosis. You can keep some SF breathmints around or something like that but really...it doesn't do much good. The good news is that it's temporary and that once your weight loss stabilizes it's going to go away.

Oh god do I remember the nasty mouth! I was like that for a few months, like 6! I brushed my teeth often. Also bought those tongue brushes and carried them and sugar free mints in my purse! It will stop, soon!@
