Kinda Gross I Know

[jessika 0]

It had been 3 Weeks since I was sleeved. I get this nasty foam in my mouth and my mouth is constantly dry. And all if a sudden I have the worst taste in my mouth everyday when I wake up? Nasty I know: / did this happen to anyone else? When will it stop?

I havent had any issues with foam, but ever since my surgery my mouth feels nasty all the time. I brush my teeth at least 3 times a day now and I was sleeved in April. I dont know what the deal is, but I think it has something to do with not eating as much crunchy stuff as I used to. Also, I used to chew gum all the time, but I never do now. I eat a lot of soft foods now that I never did before.

I don't know much about the foam.

But the other 2 are fairly easily explained, the dry mouth is usually an indication that you are not getting enough Water. And the nasty taste in your mouth is likely the result of Ketosis which is basicicly just the burning of fat cells. It kinda throws the body chemistry off a bit and does mean we might need a bit more deodorant & toothpaste.

And yes, it happens to most of us. Hope that helps.

Edit: the bad taste will get better as your weightloss slows.

Yup. I agree. Probably in Ketosis (which is a good sign). I used to carry around the little disposable toothbrushes, you know...the kind that has a little drop of toothpaste already on it. I know Colgate makes them...Anyway...it does get better!
