Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Increase your water intake to wash out the ketones....the bad breath is a by-product of ketosis (your body burning fat). The product of ketosis is ketones, and mine got so bad, hubby couldn't get close to me! It still gets bad if I slack on my water...when I keep my water up around the 3 liter mark each day, it seems to take care of it!

The liquid diet is already making your ketosis cycle go full speed ahead. Most people don't notice this until post op and in the rapid losing stage, but with your present low calorie intake, this will go into effect. As Kath says, lots of water to flush it out.

Ol' time Atkins followers will recognize this as "benign dietary ketosis". I felt like I was chewing a tin can for MONTHS when I was a low-carber. I must say I am not looking forward to it again post-op. I can recall reading in an Atkins discussion forum that drinking water may or may not cure the problem. But that was years ago. That didn't make too much sense at the time. |

I have tried the Atkins before, but I dont remember it being this bad!! urgh! lol I am Definitely in Ketosis mode though, did a stick test and it basically barely changed colour, not even close to trace! maybe thats why, I always had it in the trace levels before.

I found these kewl little liter bottles at walmart...I keep them filled with Ozarka spring water from our cooler at work and I buy HUGE jugs of the stuff to refill them at home! I keep 5 or 6 of them in the fridge...I can usually polish off 1 while at work...1 on the way home from work...and drink another one at the gym or after I get home from the gym....I have found I keep water on me ALL the time now!
