The breath thing I never knew was from Ketosis!!! I was worried BC I was sleeved June 10 and I wake up like damn... This taste is nasty!! Did anyone have irritation in the back or their throat with that?

Yes I have slight irritation with mine! Sometimes if I drink flavored Water or milk I can really tell. You're not alone!

Yup, ketosis. The good news is that weight loss goes hand-in-hand (mouth-in-mouth?) with ketosis. Buy more Listerine and Breath Savers and watch the pounds melt away! :wacko:

The irritation in your throat could be from the tube they used to ventilate you during surgery...but I ended up at one week out with the NASTIEST case of oral thrush. It was uncomfortable to drink. It looked like white spots on my tongue, back of throat, and even gums. It was fairly easy to treat with a prescription of liquid Nystatin.

The breath and bad taste is probably from Ketosis.

Good Luck on your journey!

I haven't been sleeved yet, but would the product Biotene work? When my daughter went through cancer/chemo she would rinse with Biotene to help with dry mouth. It helps moisturize the mouth.

Biotene is certainly worth a try. Also the Listerine strips help as do the Gas X mint meltaway strips. I get nasty metallic tastes too and these do help.

Make sure you brush your tongue or get even a tongue scraper if needed,

Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
