Soap taste?

I had surgery four days ago. Feel like I'm over analyzing everything I put in my body! :)

I feel like things (some things) taste like soap. Is this weird?

I am to be sleeved on October 9th. I attend support groups weekly. This topic was actually just mentioned on Thursday. Some people who have had the surgery already that were there said everything taste the same, others reported mild changes, and some gave examples of when they first got it done that for a week or two everything, for some even water tasted odd. Some said like sand, some said copper, and yes someone said soap. I wouldn't worry, but if u want that extra relief just call your doc to confirm. Best of luck and please send updates. Will be sleeved by doctor Singe at Albany Medical Center in Albany, NY on October 9th.

Water tastes like soap sometimes to me. Not everyday but on a day it does it is ALL DAY!!!!

I had the soap thing with everything for days at a time. My best friend said it was the anesthesia, she had that after gall bladder surgery and that's what her Dr said. I also have the dirty penny taste all day some days still at almost 4 months. People say that's Ketosis but I have had it after whole grain crackers so- after more carbs than usual.

I am almost two months out so I don't think mine is anestesia

It's so odd how our bodies adjust/react to this. Thank you all who shared....I seriously thought I was going crazy or having psychosomatic symptoms! :)
