Hello All!.. I was Banded on Wed. March 28th and since then have had a yucky.. never yucky.. white tongue.. with an actual layer on it.. almost like a layer of my tongue died and its dead cell coming off.. when i say my tongue.. i mean my wholllee tongue.. today its alot better with now just the tip left all white and "dead like" but i cant have anything grainy.. like applesauce or even really runny mashed potatos because its hurts my tongue from the grainy feeling.. today i noticed too that the roof of my mouth and kind of grainy.. like might even itch a little.. has anyone ever experienced this?.. idk if its from the liquid pain meds or what.. which i stopped taking saturday night. Im lost?.. I have a post op appt tomorrow and I fully intend on asking them about this but just wanted some feedback from anyone else.. Thanks in advance=)

Were you on antibiotics? Sounds kinda like thrush...I don't know that adults get that though.

It's thrush. I'm a RN and see this often. Call your primary care MD. You need nystatin solution to swish and swallow. Good luck!

That could be it! It's like a yeast infection in your mouth' lovely right?
