Sometimes a white coated tongue is thrush. Check with your doctor.

Hi, my surgery date was September 6 also. I had the one sided pain on the left it felt like a sharp dagger. I used Tylenol and a heating pad. I also walked in the back yard when I could seems like the more I walked the more I burped since they put Co2 in you so they can do the surgery.

As for the white tongue at first it thought I was dehydrated but I have been drinking fluids round the clock i invested in some Biotene mouth wash and spray from Walgreens and it seemed to do the trick. I am figuring from taking those crushed pills and chewable Vitamin supplements they may be drying our tongues out.

Congrats on your surgery and many well-wishes to you.

Thrush is a form of yeast infection in your mouth. You definitely want to have it checked. Someone on this board suggested gas x strips as being helpful Narcotics slow your bowels and may impede passing gas. You may want to try Tylenol and more walking.

Feel better soon

I had a white coating on my tongue and my sense of smell was really bad. Although it started before surgery when I was on the liquid diet, it really got bad after surgery. For me, it was the whey Protein. Once I was able to get off those shakes and eat other foods, everything went back to normal. I still cannot tolerate whey protein; if I eat a Protein Bar with whey in it two days in a row, the same thing starts happening again.

In the meantime, (until I could wean myself off the shakes) I rinsed out my mouth with biotine several times a day. It helped.

It wouldn't hurt to have your doctor check it out just in case it is thrush - mine was not. Good luck!!

@@hildalila I do not drink Protein shakes anymore - am 11 months out from surgery. It is hard to find a Protein shake that both doesn't have whey in it and that tastes good. I tried quite a few...In the end, I stayed with Premier Protein and got myself off as quickly as I could once I started being able to eat other foods.

I remember that once I could eat pureed foods, I ate a lot of Beans, pureed chicken with broth, and drank FairLife Milk. Fairlife has more Protein than regular milk - less sugar - tastes great (I am also lactose intolerant).

Now, I eat Protein Bars once in a while - I love the ones with whey, but they do not love me. I recently found No Cow Protein Bars made with pea and brown rice protein. They are not as yummy, but I tolerate them really well. My favorite is the raspberry truffle.

Hang in there! When you can eat other foods, be creative - Some people drink protein Water - but since I have not tried it, I don't know if it has whey protein in it. As I said, there are alternatives - brown rice and pea Protein Shakes. It wouldn't hurt to try them - you might like them.

Again...hang in there - this relying on Protein Shakes doesn't have to last forever!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
