weird taste in mouth, dizzyness



Recommended Posts

ok, i have not had the surgery yet, im still waiting for my psych evail and then a date....but in the mean time im having these weird things going on...for the past 3 months or so .......if i take a sip of any liquid or taste any food, I all of a sudden get this weird sensation, taste in my mouth( not metallic) and then dizzyness comes over me in my head to the point where i think im going to pass out and then just as fast as it hit, the feeling is gone.........one time i was laying down in bed and when i turned over it happen'd also......doesnt matter if im sitting , standing , lying down or what ever....it just comes and goes in a matter of seconds...........I did go to my doctor but the only explanation he had was that it was anxiety or panic attack....??? Never had one of them in my life before so i don't know how they feel....

I recently had labs done and all my numbers are elevated slightly with the exception of my triglycerides.....supposed to be at 150, mine are at 268 so the doc put me on fish oil pills last week...not sure if that has anything to do with it? ..Just wondering if anyone had similar experience and got it diagnosed?

Thanks.......

Hmm very odd. Sorry I have no idea. the only time I had an issue with taste was after I had a PICC line, for a good month afterwards I had this constant salty taste in my mouth, creeped me out since I don't like salt lol.

I would say if it continues to get a second opinion.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
