Sounds like acid reflux

No, I had that a lot before surgery & thankfully not since. This is a sour taste, like you get after sugar-free drinks. It is almost always there, no matter the flavor I am consuming. I just wondered if this was common & does it go away?

I would agree that sounds like acid reflux. I would suggest making an appt with your doc and getting him to prescribe you an acid blocker. It will help alot with the taste and block hunger that is sometimes associated with it. I hope that helps. [= good luck

It may be the aspertame flavoring that goes along with those drinks. I would suggest a different flavoring. Like with my Water i now use mio instead of crystal light b/c i dont like the after taste. Just look for drinks/flavoring that dont list that as an ingredient.

It may well be a by product of ketosis, this is a good thing. It means your body is using stored fat for energy and the by product ( acetone) is expelled in urine and on your breath. This leaves a funny taste in your mouth ( and also odd urine). It means your blood sugars are being held by your body in reserve for emergencies and your day to day energy is fueled from stored fat and avoids depletion of your Protein stores. So welcome ketosis!

I've heard that is normal for a little while. I did not get that, but I've heard of many who have. it should go away with time.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
