I am drinking all my water, and then some, and yet my mouth is continually dry. Anyone else experience this, and/or know what it is?

I am. I had my surgery one week ago today, and even though my dry mouth has somewhat improved a little bit, I still have it. Also, my tongue is white... I believe the stomach is trying to heal from the shock of surgery and there is a slight imbalance of good and bad bacteria thus resulting in yeast which manifests as the white tongue and thicker saliva. The dry mouth sensation comes along with that. I am taking Probiotics every day. My doctor also recommended the Activia yogurt to help reestablish a good bacteria balance in the stomach.

The good side is that we need the Water anyway, so drink up!

SAME HERE. REally dry. I am 6 days post op and I just wanna guzzle! My tongue and throat are white and I have a terrible taste in my mouth. I do sometimes swab and if too full just rinse my mouth out.

Good luck.

Are you taking any medications? Dry mouth is a big side effect for a lot of drugs...

I'm almost 1 week post-op, and the same here... my mouth and especially my throat is so horribly dry, I have developed a terrible soar throat.I can't swallow my own saliva without enduring miserable pain! I drink like a duck...Now because my throat is also dry, I get these coughing spells that hurt my incisions like hell! So continues the cycle... At night alone I think I go through a .5L bottle of Water throughout the night.

Re white tongue, that's because you haven't had a bowel movement yet (I think). Try some Miralax and that should do the trick...

Also you guys with chronic dry mouth, there is an over the counter product called biotin. Comes as tooth paste, mouth wash, and gum. As a dental assistant I'm asked about dry mouth alot. My office was sent samples awhile back to try and that stuff is amazing!

Lemon will help that. Drink lemonade or suck on lemon hard candy. (both s/f of course!)
