nobody? I feel like there's a bunch of crap that's on my throat that wants to come out but won't

when should it go away?

I don't know how far out you are from surgery, but I did experience that feeling for a couple of days after surgery. It just tastes funky and there's nothing I could drink to get rid of the taste. I will say that hot tea did help more than cold drinks.

Or could it be that you are in ketosis (body burning fat). I don't mind it because I know that fat is being burned by the body, but man oh man does my mouth feel funky!!

You may have a touch of the thrush. Its a yeast infection in your mouth. Does your tongue have a white coating on it?:)

Did they give you an IV antibiotic before surgery? That can cause thrush in your mouth. But it could very be that you are in ketosis and you are burning fat and that will leave a VERY disgusting taste in your mouth, if this is the case it is a good thing. It means your body is "eating" its fat stores!!!:)

You probably have thrush. All you have to do is call your, MD office and tell them you had surgery and they gave you antibiotics and now you may have thrush in your mouth. They will prescribe you a swish and swallow liquid. All you have to do is swish it around in you mouth and spit it out. But it will get rid of it. Until then you can eat yogurt and that will replace a lot of the good bacteria back in your mouth. But beware... if it is the thrush, you will eventually have a vajayjay yeast infection soon.:)
