Couple Of Questions

5 days post op--have such a disgusting taste in my mouth. Will this go away? Can I chew gum?

Also--what about bowel movements? I've only had a very watery one (sorry for TMI) is that normal? I am scared of being constipated.

Thanks in advance!

    I am not a Dr but from my experience I can tell you....
    1. The nasty mouth taste will go away.

    2. Chewing gum isnt recommended by my Dr for banded patients because if you accidentially swallow it it could wreck havoc in your stomach. Those dissolvable strips are better.

    3. Your BMs will return to normal once you start on the Protein shakes. In the meantime you can add a Fiber supplement which is taste free into your beverages and it should help.
