Thrush?

[tessies 224]

Is your bariatric surgeon the one who said that wasn't thrush?? Did you tell him you had yeast infection signs to, because usually if you are having thrush symptoms and a yeast infection pops up that usually is thrush. You can try what the other poster said sit in Water with vinegar. But for thrush you need a med...

No i wasn't i was fine dont know whats going on i feel horrible and i so regret this surgery. If i could go back i would have never done this. I thought it was gonna be an easier way to lose weight but is the wost. I still cant belive i i did this to myself. My whole family and friends warned me but i didn't listen. Since im too lazy to go to the gym i did it. My problem wasn't the food my problem was the soda.

A very low calorie diet like the shake pre op diet causes ketosis, which is different to other types of ketosis diets. At this level, ketosis facilitates safe weight loss and keeps important body processes working properly while getting so few calories. Whilst your body and brain usually use carbohydrates as their main energy source, during ketosis, the body burns fat and ketones are produced, which supply the brain with energy. Excess ketones that your body does not use are excreted via urine and breath (thus the bad breath). Ketosis symptoms may include dehydration, fatigue, headaches and Constipation, due to excessive amounts of sodium, potassium and Water being lost from your body. However, your body can adjust to these changes in your electrolytes levels, and these symptoms will usually pass within the first few days (3-6 days) . This is followed by an increase in energy and reduction in appetite which, through this Intensive Phase, is likely to result in consistent and successful weight loss. It's also important to know that these are typical symptoms of a ketosis diet and you should try to stick to the program and pass through the first 3 days of the program, which is when you are most likely to experience Ketosis Side Effects. Of course, if you are concerned about your symptoms or if they persist, speak to your doctor, dietitian or pharmacist before adjusting or stopping the Optifast® VLCD™ Program.

Well Thrush IS a yeast infection, so having an oral thing with a vaginal thing does make is more likely to be thrush!

Yup I get thrush from antibiotics. To solve the problem I will either rinse my mouth out with vinegar and this makes it easier to peel up the white stuff or you can take a slower approach and eat some yogurt. Yogurt has Probiotics and it works really well on vaginal yeast infections also. I'm a natural health nut lol and these are things that I used. The yogurt will take about 2-3 days to work and make sure you leave it on your tongue for a couple of seconds before swallowing. You can also buy probiotic pills. Any type of regular yogurt will work but don't use the greek yogurt.

ETA: if you have a vaginal yeast infection also you can try inserting a tampon that is covered in plain yogurt and smearing yogurt on the outside itchy parts. This works! I've tried it and it works way better than what the doc gives you and plus IMO it's more convenient than running to the doc. My friend thought I was crazy for doing it until she developed a yeast infection and she raved about how well it worked. I also drink red raspberry leaf tea during my period and it gets rid of menstrual cramps. Works way better than advil and all you need to do is drink one cup and there will be no cramps for the rest of your period.

Exactly how I felt! I've learned a lot since then. The white tongue comes from a few different things but mostly a detox your body is going thru because of the lack of food, sugar and carbs. If you do a Water fast you get the same thing!

Nausia is because you are hungry, your stomach might not feel it but the rest of your body is freaking out because of the missing calories and sugar. They forget to tell you about that in those classes they make you take.

I honestly don't think the surgeons have a clue as to what happens to the body when put thru this process and the support team at my surgeons office didn't either or at least they weren't willing to share.

Has anyone been in this situation after surgery??

I had thrust after surgery and was told it was common from the amount of antibiotics given in the hospital. I did have complications and was rushed in for a second surgery = more antibiotics, but I was told it was common.

I had the white tongue and the horrible taste. The mouth rinse made me sick, so they gave me pills which took 2 weeks to wipe out the thrust, but now it is all good!

Good luck

Ok, I haven't had surgery, BUT I have had thrush. I couldn't eat or hardly drink anything for about a week. They had to give me liquid medicine to clear it up. I hope you get it taken care of whatever it may be. I think mine was from a combination of birth control and antibiotics.

I am 1 1/2 weeks out and I had the same. Very white tongue and my first thought was thrush. By my one week post op appointment it was gone.

Are you drinking a lot of milk?

My first couple weeks on full fluids, I drank a ton my milk to get my Protein in and the back of my tongue turned white from it.

I had this too! I would brush and brush my tongue but it wouldn't budge. It felt like fur growing on my tongue! I was convinced for a bit it was thrush, but it did go away on its own. This only happened during the clear liquid/full liquid phase. I was convinced it was the Isopure that caused it. If you have doubts, check with your doctor to be sure.
