Weird Taste in my mouth
One other thing to look out for is mouthwash. If you are using mouthwash because of the taste in your mouth, be sure you are using one that is not high in alcohol. He said that when you are not eating and drinking much, the alcohol will tend to dry out your mouth. That will keep the taste buds from exfoliating well. I started cleaning my tongue with a toothbrush. The taste disappeared quickly.

Seconding the biotene! They make both mouthwash and toothpaste and they work wonderfully.

So glad you posted this as I have been having this same issue and was looking on the forum for an answer. I'm going to get the scraper today along with some mouthwash. My surgery was Nov 17 and things are getting better but I must say when I try some foods they nauseate me. Especially meats and I loved meat before. I just hope that my taste comes back somewhat.
