Breath Changing? - ThinnerTimes

MissBehavin · 12-29-2006, 02:42 PM

Is it common for your breath to change after surgery? My husband told me my breath has changed. Here I am freaking out thinking "what?!? you think I have stink breath?!? Sleep on the couch tonight a-hole...." when really he just mean that it has changed and not that it "stinks."

What gives? Does anybody know anything about this or have a similar experience?

maybe caused by ketosis?? . which is the state our bodies are in when we are burning off lots of fat

Oh, he is too nice...he means it stinks!!! LOL It is from the ketosis of all the protein without carbs. It will pass in a few months......

Yep...sorry you got stank breath! We all had it at some point. I chewed Sf gum- some docs advise against it so sf mints help also.

Yep, and carrying a little travel toothbrush around with you.

I've already warned my hubby and co-workers about stink breath and farts. They were overjoyed! I'm thinking a Glade plug-in--just not sure where to plug it in to do the most good!

I buy SF mints in bulk. I keep them in the car, at my desk at work, at home. I'm terrified that I'll not have one when I need it!

Ummm.......try........EVERYWHERE!!!!!! LOL My house has them in every outlet because I can clear a house even being in the back bathroom with two doors closed behind me! It follows me out on my clothes! LOL I send people running for cover......well to fresher atmospheres. LOL It's horrible how it smells to have a bowel movement now. Does everyone else have this problem? It's so bad that my kids are even warning their friends when they bring them over!!!!

BTW: The breath is much better now. :P

I was really worried about this, but I have not had any real problems. Sure, if I eat black bean soup or chili, I have to stay alert,

but as to smells - no difference at all. In fact, I'd almost say I have less gas now as I don't eat even half of what I did and not all the junk. Fast food used to be the WORST and since I don't eat that trash, things are not as offensive as they used to be. So wait and see and hope for the best. There is always Gas-X.

and stock up on SF mints. I use the Ice Breakers - maybe 10 a day - really.

and don't forget that after surgery, you WANT to fart as much as possible and you won't care what is smells like. My nurse kept asking me if I was passing gas until I said, "Do I need to prove it?" then she lay off for a while.

Have you tried Nullo? ( www.nullo.com )They're little chlorophyll tablets that work on everything from b.o. to smelly farts. It's essentially an internal deodorizer. I buy them from drugstore.com because they're cheaper there. The website recommends them for colostomy patients. Hunters even use them so animals can't pick up their scent.
