I know that because we are in Ketosis we have that icky taste in our mouths..but having dragon breath is rather embarrassing! I've just started dating again and am very self conscious about this..any suggestions ? ( I don't do mints that have artificial sweeteners )

Tongue scraping, mouthwash, frequent brushing - and I did chew sugar-free gum.

Have the same problem with bad breath. I use Listerine a couple of times a day.

breath freshener strips! They work really, really well.

Has anyone tried Biotene mouth gel?

Adding a little fruit and veg to your diet, if it fits within your surgeon's plan, works wonders for this. I never had any problems in this area, and few in my doc's program do either as the excessively low carb levels that lead to these symptoms aren't part of the program, and not particularly necessary for successful long term weight loss. Occasionally someone will ask about it in the support group meetings, and the standard answer is simply that their diet is a little low on carbs at the moment and it will go away as their diet improves.

Hydrate as much as possible to flush those ketones out of your body.  It helps
