Another post op question for ya! While I was in the hospital my mouth felt like a big ball of cotton pretty much all the time. I figured that was normal, I wasn't drinking anything until the last day or so. Now that I've been home a few days my tongue feels like it has hair on it! I thought it was the Boost but I don't know! My tongue has white stuff all over it that I can't scrape or brush off, the inside of my mouth at the corners of my mouth is tender as well as my gums. Has anyone else had this problem? I've never read about it here before so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 I had that nasty tongue stuff, it taints everything you eat and drink. You won't be able to brush or scrape it off. I went to my doctor and she said it was dehydration, I started pushing fluids and protein drinks and it went away in a few days. Go to see your doctor and have it looked at. So soon out from surgery, I wouldn't take any chances. Teri Hess 2/5/01 Weight 287 2/4/01 Weight 247 4/5/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 Jodie- You have thrush.. a yeast infection in your mouth. Call your doctor & get a prescription for mycelex troches or nystatin swish & swallow.. and try to eat live-cultured yogurt, too. FYI, nystatin is cheaper, but the troches taste better..
