12 days post up. Finally getting more energy. Been on high protein liquids since surgery. Off all medication that was prescribed to me. This past week bad breath and oily film in mouth. I brush and brush & brush can't seem to get rid of it. Has any one had any

thing familiar? I do go to Dr in 4 days. Hopefully I can start on soft foods.

I am 5 days post op, and my mouth tastes like someone put a cigarette out in it. Like ashes. I'm guessing its the bitter meds Im crushing, or the anesthesia...its truly yuckie!

I was sleeved Dec 6 2010 and I still get a film. It is a nasty yellow stuff that coats my tongue, it's better than it was the first weeks but still present. I went to the drug store and got a tongue scraper and scrape my tongue every time I brush. I also use orange Listerine at every brush too.

If I were to hazard a guess I would say it's from burning a lot of fat rather than the carbs / Protein directly from food? This is just a guess.

It sounds to me like ketosis. If you ever tried Atkins or even South Beach you develop horrid breath once your body goes into ketosis!
