Sounds to me as though you are likely dealing with ketosis. Go to the search bar at the top of the page, and search ketosis. It will bring up several threads in which it is mentioned, and there are so many who can explain it better than I could! It is a reaction to the body burning stored fat, as opposed to the usually abundant carbs. It causes a nasty coating in some peoples mouths, and gives you dragon breath. It will go away....I cannot remember how long. I think the search will give you much better info than I can, but I'd bet that is what you are dealing with.

Are you banded...and tight? It could also be the taste of bile which is a sign of being too tightly restricted. Call your doctor or nurse to discuss your symptoms.They may want to scope you.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
