weird taste in mouth, dizzyness



Recommended Posts

ok, i have not had the surgery yet, im still waiting for my psych evail and then a date....but in the mean time im having these weird things going on...for the past 3 months or so .......if i take a sip of any liquid or taste any food, I all of a sudden get this weird sensation, taste in my mouth( not metallic) and then dizzyness comes over me in my head to the point where i think im going to pass out and then just as fast as it hit, the feeling is gone.........one time i was laying down in bed and when i turned over it happen'd also......doesnt matter if im sitting , standing , lying down or what ever....it just comes and goes in a matter of seconds...........I did go to my doctor but the only explanation he had was that it was anxiety or panic attack....??? Never had one of them in my life before so i don't know how they feel....

I recently had labs done and all my numbers are elevated slightly with the exception of my triglycerides.....supposed to be at 150, mine are at 268 so the doc put me on fish oil pills last week...not sure if that has anything to do with it? ..Just wondering if anyone had similar experience and got it diagnosed?

Thanks.......

Hmm very odd. Sorry I have no idea. the only time I had an issue with taste was after I had a PICC line, for a good month afterwards I had this constant salty taste in my mouth, creeped me out since I don't like salt lol.

I would say if it continues to get a second opinion.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
