I'm 4 days out since my sleeve. I woke up this morning and my tongue was coated in this disgusting white film! Is this normal?

Also, i wasn't told about Protein in the first week post op! Am I suppose to be drinking protein? I have the Isopure clear Protein drinks and they are disgusting but I hold my nose and take a few sips!

I keep telling myself it'll get better!

Not every doctor has you doing Protein from day one, so you might want to check. My dr and nutritionist say no Protein Drinks for the first week. I was worried I'd get hungry but I didn't at all. All I had week one was Water and Jello.

Same here on the protein. startes mine on day 7 post op,

They never told me about any Proteins as well, my first 15 days I was only with sugar free drinks and broths. I went to a nutricionist and she gave me this milk called Glucerna which reduced my white tongue, it was do to dehydration. I was not drinking Water at all and left too much time in between my ounces of liquids. You should be taking little sips of water every 10/15 mins. Therefore you are always hydrated. I'll attached the diet my nutritionist gave me so I could rehydrate again.
