Weird white stuff on back of tongue normal post op???

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

I have been doing good with my Stage II diet and getting in lots of

water now. Whew. no more dehydration. I think I have that constipation

thing licked now too.

I have a new problem though that has cropped up in the last several

days.

Has anyone else post op experienced this? It is a white deposit of

some kind on the back of my tongue back by my left tonsil. When I

swallow it grazes my tonsil and is making it sore. I have scraped as

much of that stuff off as I can get to, considering the gag reflex.

Is this like vitamin build up or something? I can't seem to gargle it

away and it only goes away by my scraping it. Even with the scraping

it seems to come back and I have noticed it is further down my tongue

tonight.

Any thoughts?

Oh on a good note I weighed myself at the gym tonight....FINALLY! And

the scale said I have lost 16lbs in 10 days??? I kept staring at the

scale and the girlfriend I had with me counted as well, since I didn't

believe my eyes.

It is 16 lbs less since I was weighed before surgery. What a trip!

If anyone can shed light on my tongue thing, I would really welcome

the response!
