Waxy coating in mouth from protein shakes?

[Rosie129 7]

I had my sleeve done Monday. I've been on the liquid diet. Can't drink more than half a shake. The thing is I feel like I have a waxy coating in my mouth. I'm pretty sure it's from the shakes. Anyone else experience this?

_{I usually get that same feeling. I always want to brush my teeth as soon as I am done drinking. Not sure what it is from.}

As a dental hygientist, please make sure you brush your tongue as well..keeps bacteria off..

I'm the same, apparently it's quite normal post op - if you do a search under white tongue you will find a lot of people mentioning it. Mine was terrible the first week, but I've been brushing my tongue and now almost three weeks out it's 75% better. It will eventually go away.
