The liquid diet is leaving a nasty taste in my mouth. What did you do about it? It's gross.

On the bright side, I'm in jeans I couldn't button this spring!

Just tell yourself liquid diet is temporary.

Use listerine.

Try different protein shakes.

 

Good luck.

You can also sip some peppermint tea or ginger tea to get a nice fresh taste in your mouth.  This will quickly pass.

The whey protein shakes have that issue for me, too.  It's like mega milk-breath funk.

I found the soy ones (EAS Carb Control) were better about it, but, yes, peppermint tea and sugarfree gum kept me going.

Hang in there!  I found the pre-op liquid diet pretty difficult to endure and had to remind myself, every day, that it was only for a little while.
