canes2015 23 Posted April 22, 2015 Hi Everyone, I am 3 weeks post op. As of late I have a metallic taste in my mouth. It's not all day but when I get it stays around for a while. Has anyone experienced this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
della street 213 Posted April 22, 2015 @@canes2015 Yes, absolutely -- I was told it was due to ketosis; dehydration; and possibly the Vitamins with all the Iron. For a while, I brushed my teeth about six times a day - At 11 weeks post-op, it's mostly gone now -- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted April 22, 2015 @@canes2015 the metallic taste is a side effect of ketosis due from a low carb diet. It subsides in time. In the mean time you can brush your teeth more often or swish with breath wash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildGrits 101 Posted May 1, 2015 Say it with me everyone "KETOSIS"!!!!!!! Are you thirsty? Do you smell bad to others? Does your pee have a strong odor? And does your mouth taste like nail polish remover? You can thank KETOSIS. It's the body dumping acetoacetate AKA acetone, the active ingredient in nail polish remover. Don't worry, it doesn't last forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
