Thrush

[Jen in SoCal 189]

Last night I looked at my toungue and discovered I have developed thrush yuck!!!

Did a little research online and apparently its caused by all the antibiotics pumped into you during and after surgery. Waiting for the nurse to call me back from surgeons office to see if they can just phone me in a prescription or something. Feels so gross and uncomfortable!

Please tell me I'm not the only one that this has happened to. Its so gross and embarrassing!

I had it. I didn't think of calling the doctor. I just scraped my tongue in the morning and at nite before I brushed. Eventually it went away.

Is this something really common with wls or any surgery? I've never had thrush but have had other surgeries

Apparently it's pretty common after large doses of antibiotics. Surgeons office phoned in a prescription for me right away and I am swishing with something the consistency of raw scrambled eggs 4 times a day for a few days, yuck!

Funny thing is I was commenting the other day on how great and clean and white my teeth looked because I haven't eaten solid food in 3 weeks. Ironic...

Yeah it's definitely no fun at all I got no sleep for the 2 weeks after my surgery because I itched so bad! It was a nightmare and not only did I have a yeast infection all over my skin but I also was allergic to the dermabond they used to close my incisions and so all of my incisions were red and swollen too!

Raw scrambled eggs? How you use it?

It's not really raw scrambled eggs LOL It just looks and feels like it. Swish and spit 4 times a day. It's nasty.
