So what's up with the Trench Mouth!

Since surgery 3 weeks ago I have had varying "tastes" in my mouth. The first awful stage was when I had some yogurt and a popsicle with Splenda in it. It took 2 days to get that coating out of my mouth. After that it cleared up and most days after I brushed my teeth and tongue things were pretty normal.<p>This morning I awoke about 3am with horrible taste - metal and all other sorts of yucky things. Brushing my teeth and tongue only put a small dent in it. Is it because I am laying pretty flat and stuff works it way up from the small intestine and pouch because there is no valve to prevent it? Any sure fire cures to get rid of this taste? Some days I also can't stand the taste of water and can only drink Crystel Light and Diet Snapple. Does this improve over time? Help I can't stand my mouth!! Chris
