Sewage in my throat... eeewwww



Recommended Posts

So all day today I have had this horrible taste in the back of my throat. It smells awful and tastes like you would think sewage would. Is this normal? What is it? I also had a bout of nausea today as well. I wish the nausea would disappear. I seem to be on a cycle - 2 days just fine, one day of nausea, 2 days just fine, one day of nausea. LOL

You are experiencing Ketosis. That's a good thing. Means you're burning fat!

But yes, the breath it causes can kill a horse. Horrible. Lol.

Isn't she just peachy! LOL, it will last as long as you are throwing off Ketones. Trust me, you get used to it! It's the downfall of high Protein, low carb.......

I'm having the same problem. I don't remember this when I've done the Adkins diet though.

Funny, that's when I first experienced it was on Atkins.

Your body should adjust soon. I really only remember it being a couple of weeks. In the mean time, brush your teeth a lot and stay clear of other people until it passes, lol. If you can make sure to really suck it until it disappears, maybe some sugar free mints.

Oh, and the nausea is also normal. I was nauseous every morning for a couple of weeks post op. Some people have it for weeks, some months.

Hang in there. This will all be a distant memory soon enough!

      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.
