laurabl98 reacted to AllisonKara in Post Op Two Days- Terrible Taste in Mouth
It is not only the after taste of Iso-pure liquid Protein but also the heavy dosage of medication that is being given to you which is leading to that bad taste in the mouth. .Iso-pure does leave a very bad after taste but you can get rid of it by cleaning your mouth a few more times than you regularly do.This way you will keep your mouth from getting dry and also keep it clean from the after taste of the Protein.< /p>

The Isopure was my least favorite drink -- I would actually brush my teeth and clean around my lips because it left such an aftertaste. Also, a LOT of medications have dry mouth as a symptom... if you're on pain drugs and stuff that may be contributing to the weird taste.
It gets better!

A repost and my apologies if it's too descriptive:
So I'm sorry to be too graphic here but remember, someone filled your body cavity full of gas, they pumped fluids, medications, antibiotics and anesthesia into your body. They punched 5 holes in your abdomen, moved all your inner body parts around, shoved a tube down your throat, took an electric scalpel and burned away excess fat and tissue wrapped around your upper stomach, then wrapped a plastic strap around your stomach just below the lower esophogeal sphincter, stitched it in place with 5-6 sutures bringing your lower stomach up and over the band and then snaked a tube out of your body and sewed another plastic piece to the muscle tissue on your rib cage.
Now, thinking about all that has been done to your body, you're doing quite well aren't you?
