Everything tastes salty and bumps on my tongue



Recommended Posts

Everything I eat or drink tastes very salty. My regular cheese sticks and lunch meat taste so salty I can't eat them. Got a hamburger patty last night and commented to my husband that its so salty how can anyone eat it. Ate yogurt this morning and it was salty. My ice tea is salty. I'm also getting bumps on my tongue. Anyone else have this problem or is it unrelated to my WLS?

lunch meats very high in sodium, so is cheese. I never eat it for that reason. Cut back on salt intake, you need to anyway or you'll get Water logged.

Hmm, any changes in medication lately? Alternatively, I remember I had thrush after a surgery and everything seemed really salty to me.

I have lived on deli meat and cheese for years now so that wouldn't be the problem. I would rather have high salt intake then low Protein intake. Sodium isn't actually anything I have a problem with and I have very low blood pressure so no fear of BP problems.

I woke up sick after I posted this and went to doctor. You can visibly see that my tongue is red and inflammed but he said it isn't thrush. I have bronchitis and strep so he thinks it was probably my body letting me know I was sick or getting dehydrated. Started antibiotics and steroids today so hopefully it clears up. I have started eating yogurt daily just to be on the safe side.

I'm glad to hear you saw the doctor and you're getting some treatment, though I'm sorry to hear about the bronchitis and strep! Hope you feel better soon!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
