TASTE

Every since I had my RNY(about 2 months ago) all my liquids have a metallic taste therefore making it difficult to find something I can drink. Anyone else have this problem and how long did it last? Thanks sandra a.

Hi Sandra, I read this all the time on the main board. i dont think they know why it happens........but it does. Some people say it is the taste of ketosis(hope thats the right word) as your body burns fat. I havent had this problem. Isnt it weird how this surgery does different things to your body (and not just weight -wise). I have the most elaborate, colorful dreams now. Not at all like before. Go figure take care willby

Hi Wilby, Do you think they did something to your brain when you had your surgery to get you your colorful dreams??? Hugs and smilesGinger

Hi Ya Ginger I specifically asked the surgeon to implant a device in my brain that will constantly feed it the "good" drugs from the 70's. willby

hi sandra: not that i want to contradict willby - sorry girl - i had read somewhere that the metallic taste is a leftover from the anesthesia. i had it after my surgery too. of course, when i think of it, i didn't have it after my hysterectomy so maybe willby's correct. OMG could it be? i'll let you know if i'm tasting metal after my foot's done on the 13th, O****il then, maybe check with the doc. or maybe you're getting in more 'iron' than you thought. LOL have a good one dorthe

Dorthe, I guess you found me out............if I dont know the answer to something................i just make it up ((((((((((((BIG BIG HUG)))))))))))))))) willby

Hey Sandra, Girl you are not alone. I was beginning to think I was losing it there for a while. Things still dont taste right to me. I dont know where it comes from but still is with me too. I cant eat or drink things I even used to like. Nothing hardly tastes the old way. I have had some nausea the last few weeks but am dealing with it. I hate that feeling and nothing seems to appeal to you. So guess we just hang in there and it gets better. Hugs Marge
