My gastric bypass was 12/23/19!

Has anyone else noticed an odd taste in your mouth between meals? Mine feels like I always want to brush my teeth again.

Bill S. · Jan 27, 2020

I do all the time . Sugar free mints all day almost

amimpannell · Jan 27, 2020

I have had the same issue with the odd taste

Cyxelsid · Jan 27, 2020

Yeah, I was wondering about the odd taste as well. It is really off putting. My wife says my breath smells different too, not necessarily like traditional bad breath, but just a different smell.

I like the idea of sugar-free mints, I will get some today.

I had the same issue with the taste in my mouth after I started taking iron supplements. After awhile, it goes away but it was very annoying while I still noticed it. Hopefully it is for the same reason!

I had VSG on Jan. 21. I'm 6 days out. I also have the funny sensation in my mouth. I'm glad you all mentioned it.

We are only 1-day apart on surgery... we should stay in touch! I had VSG on 1/22/20.

I can't believe I have had virtually no pain. I've taken no pain pills of any kind. I have no trouble getting water in. I feel very lucky.

Cyxelsid · Jan 27, 2020

I feel pretty lucky too. I had pain the first couple of days, but it tapered off pretty fast, and is mostly gone, except gas.

Did you say you are already eating solid foods like oatmeal?

mmitti · Jan 27, 2020

The oatmeal was listed as a full fluid - made as a thin, liquidy consistency.

January 10th, I am doing the pureed meat now 1/2 cup is not bothering me at all. I am getting between 500-600 calories a day now

I’ve been having dry mouth and throat every day especially in the morning always feels like I have a sore throat

OhioRue · Feb 7, 2020

Thanks all! Glad to know the odd taste is not in my head. I’ll ask my doc if taking a probiotic would be okay for me. I’m finally able to chew gum (sugar free) without getting nauseous. Still no regrets!

That’s great Cyxelid! My gastric bypass was 12/23/19...so excited about my progress!

Just had my bypass one week ago today. Really feeling the pain, all I want to do it sleep, but then I know I'm not getting enough fluids and will get dehydrated. The frustration is real!

RYGB on Jan 28, 2020. Just found this site. Really glad to see the challenges and changes I am feeling are normal. Thanks! You've made me feel better.
