Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 When you had surgery did any of you get a white tongue? I had swelling in my feet and my toes turn blue. I got the swelling down with water pills like the doctor said. Now I have white on my tongue and it won't come off. Is it serious how long does it pass. I have a little chalk taste with it. I am drinking over the amount of water intake. I got my protein in today and I am stuff. Joyce 271/268/?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 That sounds like thrush. Thrush is a very common yeast infection in the mouth that can be easily cured with antibiotics. I would ask your surgeon about it. Mindi 277/187/115?? Lap RNY 6/26/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I had that white tongue thing.....it was a thrush infection, and I had to swallow Nystatin suspension to get rid of it. Call your doc and let him know.....sherri > >Reply-To: Gastric_Bypass_Family >To: Gastric_Bypass_Family >Subject: Question for post -op >Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 03:44:37 -0000 > >When you had surgery did any of you get a white tongue?

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 the funny taste may come from ketosis. never heard of white tongue, though, keep us posted on what your doc says. & btw, nice to see you on the other side! lori h. > When you had surgery did any of you get a white tongue?
