juls0102 33 Posted October 12, 2014 I am 5 days post op and have a horrible taste in my mouth. I can't stand any of the sugar free drinks. They leave a chemical taste in my mouth. I am able to eat sugar free Jello. I am sticking with Decaf tea and Water. I'm having a hard time getting my Protein in also. Any suggestions? Could I add frozen fruit to my Protein Shake and blend it very well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Who Dat 70461 331 Posted October 12, 2014 I grew tired of the various SF drink mixes fairly quick as well. I started cutting bottled Water about 1/3 with cranberry juice, cran-grape juice, various diet cran-whatever juice cocktail (they sell almost cran-everything nowadays! ). Made it much more palatable. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted October 12, 2014 The horrible taste in your mouth might be ketosis, especially if you are eating low carb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juls0102 33 Posted October 12, 2014 I've been in ketosis before and I'm sure that's what it is. I'm hardly ingesting any calories at this point. I'm trying to get in Protein but everything else I'm drinking is calorie free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
