I wake up every morning right now and feel like the tooth fairy passed by my place and took a dump in my mouth while i was sleeping.......

So happy its not just me

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!

I always have a "kale chip" taste in my mouth. Must be the same thing...Sooo gross

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!

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.

If I go to bed with a HALLS fruit BREEZER in my mouth, it's not so bad in the morning.

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!
