i am one week away from surgery (sept. 19th) and currently on the liquid pre op diet.

however, i have horrible dry mouth.

i am drinking more than 64 oz of Water a day...yet it is still really dry and I am afraid to talk to people for fear of bad breath.

Anyone else having an issue with this??? Any idea why???

Thanks,

I'm going through the exact same thing! It's more of chapped lips for me than dry mouth. I am meeting if not exceeding my 8glasses a day of Water and meeting my calories..but I have never had lips/mouth this dry and chapped. Not sure why..

could it be because we are not actually chewing our food but instead drinking it?

Not making saliva causes you to feel as if you have none?

I just feel the need to brush my teeth 10 times a day.

And now that you mention it, I am using my chapstick more often.

Guess I would rather have dry mouth than diabites though...

That's normal...I went through that phase too.... I drank Water more than I could eat, and didn't eat much to make room for more water... I was always thirsty... I also felt disgusted with my mouth.... my teeth felt like they were coated with something sticky, and I needed to chew something, and I did wash my teeth every 10 minutes.... I guess all that went away when I started my puree stage.... somewhile after that, I was talking about this with my mom, and she told me,, why didn't u just chew some gum.....stupid me :)

Has anyone tried Biotin (in the toothpaste/mouthwash section I think). I was taking it because of some medicine I was taking, and it helped.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
