So I'm about 9 days out from my surgery and I've developed this white stripe in the middle of my tongue, anyone else have this happen? I can feel a weirdness like a film almost and of course brushing doesn't help with it at all. Is there something I should be doing to get rid of this?

It's common when you are on a liquid diet. It could be thrush, which in itself isn't a big deal, but it can also just be the gunk that builds up on your toungue when you aren't chewing anything that manually scrubs your toungue everytime you eat. Get a toungue scraper from the toothbrush aisle, scrape that junk off your toungue, and that should solve it. Once you are eating real foods again, the process of solid food scraping over your toungue does the same thing for you as the toungue scraper.

That sounds like thrush. A mild yeast infection of the mouth. You may want to give the doctor a call.

Thank you both of you, I just saw my PA today (thought I was only seeing my nutritionist) for my first Post Op checkup and she said it was Thrush and wrote me a presciption.
