19 days post op...weird question!

Ok, so far the only major discomfort pains I've had is when I'm drinking water on an empty stomach and I find that sipping it is more bothersome than with a straw. A straw actually hurts less. Anyways, my question is does anyone else experience the funky taste in their mouth after eating/drinking? Like the taste is coming back up? Even though your not ill and not going to throw up? When does that stop?

Could it be Ketosis?

Sometimes you get a metal like taste in your mouth. Not to be TMI but I find that when I'm in Ketosis and I use the bathroom it smells like Nail polish remover.

No, I don't think so...it's more of just a funky taste. Like whatever I ate/drank lingers and is gross. :-(

It happens to me too. I dunno what it is.

I dont think I have that, I do have bad breath with ketosis, so i do chew gum to help....I also drink with a straw, because I took in way more air without it...

I agree, the straw reduces air and may help with the feeling. As for the taste, I still have it. My mouth feels like I have morning breath all day long. Part of it is ketosis, I know that well from my Atkins days. I think a lot of it is though that I am not eating much and when I drink, I'm not drinking the same things I used to. I gave up my diet coke so water and crystal light only is a big change. As for the repeat taste. I did go through some of that for a while but it was right after surgery like day 5-10. I hated it but it did pass. I have noticed that I am way more picky about what I drink out of too now because water bottles taste like plastic now. I think that because we are eating far less, we REALLY taste everything far more. My sense of smell is accelerated too but that's gotten better. Things will iron out!

Omg...i thought it was just me! I swear I can taste the soap on some of the dishes i eat off...or if its a plastic plate i feel like i taste the plastic..lol I tried to explain it to my mom and she just thought i was crazy lol

I am way more sensitive to both taste and smell. It's not just you! I cant stand water from a water bottle anymore because I swear I now taste the plastic lol.
