Yes everything was taken into consideration and yes that is a total of all fluids consumed- I follow my teams recommendations- I was just asking to see if anyone else had experienced similar issues and what they did to combat it. If you haven't you have no idea how painful it is and frustrating. And no 120 oz in this heat isn't excessive as my team also said to intake more fluids at this time to not risk dehydration during the heat wave.
Thank you for all the advice- talked to my surgeon and they keep asking if I'm dehydrated- I'm not. I drink 120oz of water and added electrolytes in yesterday. Biotene doesn't touch this dry mouth- I'll just keep plugging along and hope this too passes!
Hi- I had surgery on 5/15/24... so I'm 5 weeks out. I struggled getting water in this weekend and ended up needing fluids. My mouth has been killing me and I thought fluids would help but nope! Now I'm struggling with get in protein because the only way I like protein is with hot coffee. I just feel like I'm failing! Support/suggestions... I'm all ears!
