Constant weird taste in my mouth

[Violeta<3 2]

Hi

So im 1 week post op and i constantly have this weird taste in my mouth and it feels like rubber as well. Every time i eat its worse. The amount of times i brush my teeth a day it doesnt make a difference. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

I had this problem and it ended up being thrush. I had a thick white covering on my tongue. It comes from all the antibiotics they pump you with before surgery. Call your doctor in the morning so he can call you in a prescription.

I had Thrush too (put me on meds for this) and the bad taste in my mouth lasted for awhile...just brushed my teeth and my tongue a lot. Post Op 8 weeks now and no problem any longer.

I ended up getting a gel. I hope it doesn't last more then a week because it's driving me crazy. How long did urs lasts?

I have noticed the Protein Shakes I drink leave a weird taste in my mouth. Maybe that's a cause.

After I took the medicine, it was gone in 2 days. I was on nystatin.

It's the residual (Thrush/yeast) of the antibiotic used during surgery. My surgeon sent me home with a Rx for diflucan. Helped solve the issue.

Yes I had the same issue for several months. I thought it was related to no sugars and no carbs but then my taste buds are not the same since banded. 18 months out
