Is there a white coating on the back of your tongue or roof/sides of your mouth? I had oral thrush as a result of my liquid antibiotics immediately post-op, so it could be that.

Yep - I had it too!!!

Mine was from the Protein shakes. Once I got to regular food - it started to disappear. Also - I used a tongue scraper (used for halitosis). Helped a lot!!!

I had to use a toungue scraper too...the act of chewing real food naturally clears that junk off your tongue, so when you're stuck drinking only liquids you get that weird film. The tongue scraper fixed it up for me.

The "slime" didn't go away for me until I stopped with the artificial sweeteners. The "sugar-free" puddings, jello's, Protein shakes, etc. were the culprits. They also made my saliva foamy.

Mine went away when I went to soft foods. Until then I would suck on a mint. I think they are Ice Breakers. Cinnamon and Wintergreen was the best for me. They were really strong. I would normally throw the second half away.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
