Bad Taste

Thoses on liquids only.  What do you do to get rid of the bad taste in your mouth.  Besides mouth wash every hour. Is there something to suck on without sugar in it?  Please let me know.  Thanks. Susan

From your posted surgery date, I'd say that "bad taste" is the effect of Ketosis. Your body is in the rapid weight loss stage and you are burning fat.
There really is NOTHING you can do. Go ahead and brush your teeth, use mouthwash, and get some sugar free breathe mints.
It's a 'nasty' point of the weight loss journey... but tolerable!!

Even your best friends won't tell you, but the "bad taste" can also translate into "bad breath!"   The only thing I've found that masks the taste and the smell (temporarily anyway) are Smint breath mints.  They are super tiny super strong sugar free mints.  You may have to look in a few places to find them, but Walgreens typically carries 'em. Good luck!!

Thanks for your reply's.  I will look for them.

Is the taste metallic? Sometimes a patient will develop thrush after surgery due to the hormonal upheaval.

HTH.

No it isn'y a metalic taste.   It's dry mouth and smells bad and tastes bad.  No special kind of taste.  I'll try the mints and see what happens.  It goes away with mouthwash but doesn't last long.  Thanks for your reply. Susan
