5 days post op... white tongue?



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 5 today.

I started my full liquid diet (phase 2) so i can have sf pudding, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes that are really thinned, milk based Protein drinks etc..

I went to the bathroom today and noticed my tongue was white with a residue? I brushed my teeth and it didnt go away- then tried mouthwash, and scraping it with paper towel LMAO but it still there.... Anyone know what this is or whats causing it? I havent been meeting my Protein goal and when i talked to my dr. he said it was normal the first few days. sooooo IDK.

It is prob ketosis from loosing weight. Use a tongue scraper. I use mine now every day.

Also if you were given high dose antibiotics during surgery it could be thrush (yeast infection). - but my guess is ketosis.

Good news means you are loosing weight!

Thanks so much! I think thats what it is after doing some research. I've lost like 5lbs in 5 days... and i've been having a funny taste in my mouth too. Hm. When does it go away?

Well I don't know. I had my surgery 5/23/11 and I am still having it. Two more pounds and I hit the 50lb lost mark! :)

Ketosis just means you're burning your fat stores for energy instead of food. It'll stop when you get more towards maintenance and add carbs and more food to your diet, but the side effects may lessen much sooner. Everyone is different.

Super Mom--Congrats on the 50 lbs!! That just fell off! Hopefully, I 'll have the same luck.

SMacBeth-I also had surgery on the same day as you! :D I , too, have a cotton mouth with a foul metallic taste almost. Ketosis no doubt.....

What we have to go through to be skinny! LOL

When I got home I had blown up 9 pounds since my weigh in at surgery. So, that has dropped off plus two more. I don't think I can really count those as weight loss because it was due to the Fluid IV that I gained so much weight!

It's not ketosis it's thrush. Eat some unsweetened yogurt, take Probiotics, and get some mouthwash from your Doctor. No biggie.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
