Bad Taste

[Lhollingsworth 54]

I am 8 days post op and I seem to have an awful taste in my mouth that I can't get rid of. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just crazy?

I had the sleeve on 12/19. I would like to know how to get rid of the bad taste also. Also, I seem to feel hungry frequently. Any ideas?

Well, the good news is that bad taste is called "ketosis" that is evidence that your body is rapidly burning fat cells.

The bad news is the only way to get rid of it is to slow the weight loss. It really doesn't stay this bad very long, but I went through a lot of mouthwash & 2 toothbrushes in this stage.

I just keep brushing my teeth- for me it has a "rotten" taste. It's gross.

Thanks!

I had it for a week or so and it was awful. My weight loss has slowed considerably (booo) but the taste is almost completely gone (silver lining, I guess?). Occasionally if I haven't eaten in a while or had a very light day I will get hints of it again. My sense of smell was also out of control for a few weeks.

I have the same thing, it's really annoying.
