Taste changes may occur after surgery. Some people experience a "bad taste" in their mouth during the first month after surgery. This is normal and should resolve within a few weeks.

I think the cause is that your body has gone into ketosis.

Ketosis made me to not be able to stand myself. This condition lasted until I began pureed foods. It gets better every day..congrats on continued success.

I had a yeast infection at two weeks out, the taste was horrible, one diflucan and was gone in 24 hours.

I remember that taste, and I was indeed told that it was ketosis. No matter how long or how often I brushed my teeth it would never fully go away.

Until it did. And it will for you. I don't remember when exactly it was. One day I just realized that it had passed. I know it was still there 2 weeks out (looking back on chat records I'd asked a friend who'd had bypass about it around that time), but I believe it was gone by the one month mark.

I changed toothpastes... Biotene. It's made a huge difference... even my spouse noticed how bad my breath (and the tastes in my mouth) were... now I'm apparently good enough to kiss again

Everything has a diff taste. I can't stand Water

Early post op I had a bad taste in my mouth too and everything tastes terrible. Even when I was past my puréed mushy stage and could eat regular food everything tastes terrible. I would have to brush my teeth after I ate to help get the taste of food out of my mouth. I just looked at good as fuel for my body and made sure I got my protein in.

It did go away after a few months. Now that my "honeymoon" period is long gone everything taste great and my mouth seems fine.
