Ok so this may sound a little weird. But it doesn't matter how many times I brush my teeth use mouth wash. I still get a funky taste in my mouth. Has this happened to anyone else? It didn't happen before surgery just not sure what changed ....

    It's ketosis, it's totally normal, and the mouth funkiness will pass. The good news is that you're actively burning fat as we speak. :)

    Ugh. That happened to me too. It also went away once I began eating & drinking a lot more.

    I'm so glad you asked this question! I thought it was just me, too! Lol! It has gotten better, though.

    I've been waking up with dry mouth. I'm guessing it's similar because this never happened to me before surgery.

    Gosh! Thanks for the question!! I was wondering what happened to me!! It is awful! I was thinking it was the milk based protein drinks. They seemed to really make it worse!

    It's likely ketosis. Fat burning machines, with dry mouth and funky breath, lol!
