Everything tastes furry - 9 days post op

[elcee 3,341]

I have been drinking with no issues now all of a sudden today everything I drink tastes dusty or furry or as though I have a hair stuck in my throat.

Any ideas what it may be and how to get rid of it?

That happen to me!! I felt like I always had hair stuck in my teeth or mouth. No idea how it went away, but it did eventually!

It has to do with being in ketosis. It will pass after awhile. Make sure you're staying hydrated!

Yup, its telling you to drink more. I too am going through it. I've been drinking Naked juice. Seems to help me keep that feeling down. But Water is key... try peppermint tea...

Also, check your throat and tongue for white Patches. I always get the same symptoms from thrush. Usually 'I get them from having to constantly use use inhalers and not rinsing right away. I get some rinses from my dentist (luckily who happens to be my mom) and it clears up in a couple days.

I don't think its thrush. My throat feels slightly swollen although its not sore so i'm guessing that could be to do with the breathing tube. My ears also feel like I have cotton wool stuffed in them!

It's not dehydration, I am drinking plenty.

Hmmm...Very well could be from irritation from the breathing tube. I would say keep an eye on it and if you don't feel better soon, make a quick trip to the doctor. Make sure it's not a little infection or anything. I hope it heals soon! Glad it's not thrush, I get it all the time and it's miserable!! Feel better! Looks like you're already half way to your goal...you go girl!!!

I would say this is worse than a hair caught in your teeth and I used to hate when that happened.

Spoke to my dr about the fact nothing tastes good.. I was told this is normal as the body has to heal and slowly get rid of the anesthesia... I finally can taste a few things. Hope all get your taste buds bsck
