Good morning everyone! I was wondering approximately how long this metal taste lasts. Everything tastes disgusting, including these nasty Vitamins. Thanks in advance!

That aounds like dysgeusia and there are soooo many things that can cause it, from pregnancy to diabetes to medications to poor hygiene...

How long it will last is directly related to what's causing it.

Time to put on your detective hat. ;)

Thanks, I have diabetes. So, I'm not sure if that has something to do with it or not. I'll look into it...thanks again!

Sometimes it could be because of a low carb diet and your body is in ketosis. It will go away. :)

Vitamins are said to cause a metalic taste, as well as the things mentioned above.

I get it from low carb... that's why plain Water tastes so bad to me.

I have had it on and off in my life due to different medications, I have had it due to ketosis (which I'm dealing with now) and sinus infections.

The Protein type metallic, milky taste seems to come back even right after I brush my teeth and usually in the middle of the night now I get up and have to brush my teeth again.

I got a few episodes of it about my late second and third month - but I associated it with the protien drink...hmmmm...

Thanks everyone! This is disgusting. On another note, I made my first Protein shake. It could be worse...lol. I hope that I figure this thing out soon.

The Vitamins caused me to have the metallic taste in my mouth. I brush my teeth and tongue after eating them. If I don't, everything I eat or drink after the vitamins will taste like metal.

When were you sleeved? Do you still get the metallic taste in your mouth or was it only in the beginning? Sn: I think that I am going to take all of my vitamins back & get liquids...

I was sleeved June 6th. Yes, I still get that taste after chewing the Vitamins. I'm currently looking for another Vitamin.

Thanks, I just called the Vitamin Shoppe & they are willing to swap out my chewables for liquids and/or gummies.< /p>

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
