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. 2 starfish n coffee and Mikee57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikee57 699 Posted March 18, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amy C 31 Posted March 18, 2014 I have noticed the Protein Shakes I drink leave a weird taste in my mouth. Maybe that's a cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MestizaBander 43 Posted March 18, 2014 After I took the medicine, it was gone in 2 days. I was on nystatin. 1 Mikee57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starfish n coffee 157 Posted March 19, 2014 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. 1 Mikee57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annette Corrado 39 Posted March 19, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
