Metallic/salty taste in mouth/Ketosis

According to my research the constant horrible metallic/salty taste in my mouth is because of ketosis, caused by burning fat.  (Which is ironic, because neither my weight or my size is changing lately.)  

The problem is that everything I eat tastes so horrid that I don't even want to eat any more.  I do use Listerine breath strips, which helps some between meals but doesn't help with the taste of food.

Any tips?  Anything I can do about this?  I'm getting really, really friggin tired of it, and it's only been going on for a couple of weeks.

 It's a sign that you are in ketosis, which happens when you are on a very low carb diet.  It's a sign that your surgery is working!

Try Chlorofresh.  

I am so glad that I read this, I was confused about Ketosis, I thought it was a bad thing (silly me) so now maybe I will get those strips, well actually I know mine is working so I probably won't waste the money, do you know if they are good for non wls people?

 Diabetic ketoacidosis is what's bad.   That's what happens when your blood sugar is very high and you don't have enough or any insulin in your system to help your body carry the sugar into the cells. When this happens your body uses fat stores instead of the sugar. This high build up and acid that builds up when this happens can upon by this can be very bad and even fatal. Ketosis is really good though it means you're burning fat!!!

My fasting blood sugars (on Metformin) have been in the 70s lately.  Definitely not high!  Pre-surgery (on Metformin plus Victoza) they were consistently 110-130ish.

 I am loving the sf breath savers that are 3 hrs, tatests like candy and really helps with the nasty taste in my mouth

 I also get that metal taste if I'm not drinking enough fluids. Makes everything taste like metal to me.
