I've been dehyrdrated since week one when I took 4 iv bags of Fluid right in the dr's office...I'm going on week ten....I just can't drink alot & struggle with getting Water & milk down...I work on it every day...but not doing a good job.

Keep working on it. It is so important for your weight loss & skin & just how you feel.

Best of luck to you!

It could also be oral thrush, especially if it feels thick. Pretty dreadful. You need to go to chemist and get a liquid solution or paste which clears it up. Swilling your mouth out with water regularly helps with mouth health. It's all pretty tiring but it does improve, you can drink a little more each day.

Whenever I take antibiotics or pain meds for a day or two, I end up with oral thrush. It sucks so bad and is digusting. The thing that helps get rid of it for me is rinsing my mouth out with vinegar or eating yogurt. The vinegar works right away because it makes it to where you can peel the patches or scrape them off your tongue. The yogurt takes about 2 days to work but it eventually restores the good bacteria in your mouth. Also when I eat low carb I get thrush lol. Also don't swallow the vinegar. Good Luck.
