Anybody else having a terrible taste in the mouth and a fuzzy tongue? I'm not dehydrated, I'm getting in my liquids. It's gross and want it to go away.

Yes, I got it too for about 2 weeks after leaving the hospital. I never formally got it checked out, but did a lot of tongue scraping and gargling with mouth wash. Eventually it went away on its own. It was a pretty thick and nasty coating.

It can also be acid reflux causing it ,

If you can scrape it off with toothbrush it's Gerd tongue if it stays it is probably thrush

Acid reflux ' date=' I have that fuzzy white tongue every morning[/quote']

Thanks for the response.

It was pretty gross. I had no idea it acid reflux as I thought acid reflux was a burning sensation in the throat after eating something extra spicy or high in fat.

I was told it is a side effect of ketosis. Mine started at about 2 weeks and even at 3.5 months still have it every morning.

When your body is in ketosis you are burning fat so it is gross but a good thing.

Yes, that furry tongue is how I know I'm doing things right (also the numbers on the scale ;-}). At first it was definitely something to get used to!!

You can search on here for ketosis and should find a lot of info on how it works.

Burning fat is always good!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
