Bad taste in mouth?

[Rachel1064 5]

I have a bad taste in my mouth most of the time. It's almost like a metallic taste. I brush my teeth and use mouthwash but the taste just keeps coming back. I also feel nauseated a lot. Anyone else experience this?

Rachel could this be that ketone breath I've seen others describe on the forums? I'm pre surg so haven't experienced for myself but that would be my best guess. Comes from your body breaking down fats for energy.

Every since my RNY my taste and my smell have increased so much. I also still get that metal taste to this day. My sense of smell is so good yesterday while I was in Safeway it smelt like burning wires over by the food court. Noone else could smell it and when I told them about it she looked at me like I had 2 heads. I'm not sure if anything happened but I sure do smell things sharper now. My taste is so weird, I always loved onions and garlic. IT has taken me over 3 years to be able to eat it again!! If I smell something off, which I do quite a bit nw. I just can't eat it. Makes me sick to tummy everytime. Hopefully you won't be like this long. I even have a hard time drinking our Water. It is City water and I have been drinking it forever. Now I have to buy bottled water and drink it real cold. Have a great weeked!!

Is your tongue white? Those were the symptoms I had when I had thrush.
