For some reason I seem to always have a sweet taste in my mouth. It happens when I wake up in the morning and even after I don't eat/drink anything for a couple of hours. I don't think it's food related because I haven't had any sugary things since the surgery. The food that I eat consists of mostly Protein (meats, cheese and eggs). Anyone else experience this and know the cause of it?

You're ketotic - meaning your body is in a state of ketosis where it uses fat for energy. Sometimes is causes a sweet taste in your mouth.

Yes, it's ketosis.

Ha, you're so lucky! When I went through ketosis, my mouth tasted like I hadn't brushed my teeth in a year. Wish I got the sweet taste. ;)

I have the same thing happening, does anyone know if this is harmful to your teeth? I would prefer not to use mouthwash or brush more than normal because it makes the sweetness stick around even longer. However, I do not want my teeth to rot...

this makes sense now. I have been having a funny taste in my mouth for several days. Not a sweet taste but a nasty taste

!!! This is why I love VST. Same thing has been happening to me lately. It's a sweet taste... but not a good sweet taste... and I am convinced my breath is awful. I feel normal again. Thanks for the post.

I think of mine as more of a metallic taste. It may be gross to some but it makes me happy when my mouth tastes like I've been sucking on coins. Then I know I'm in ketosis.

My mouth has a funny taste in it. Almost like I have been sucking on something. It is a nasty taste and nasty feeling. Started after I started the gym last week. Got really bad this week.

I like the taste, but I really hate the way ketoses affects my brain. I have foggy thinking. Sometimes my thoughts just don't happen or the words don't come out correctly. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a trance. Gosh, I really hate this feeling! :)

I have an almost Splenda like taste in my mouth as well. It gets pretty annoying really fast.

Will the taste go away when I stop loosing? Or when will it go away?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
