OK friends...I want some suggestions... I am constrantly sipping water so I am not dehydrated....but the cotten mouth feeling is not going away...any suggestion to eleviate this problem? I was hoping once on full liquids pudding and soups would help...it is not.

Even though you are constantly sipping Water, you still may be dehydrated. Your body is healing, which takes a lot of energy, which requires a lot of water for the chemical processes. If you are only sipping, you may not be getting enough.

My doctor has a fancy scale that measures body water. Their guidelines say women should be at 45-60% water. Even when drinking enough to be peeing seemingly constantly (not just sipping), and drinking more than the required 64 ounces a day, I still read at 32%, which means I'm still dehydrated! And that was a month after surgery!

Shows how important it is to keep drinking!

Thanks I keep drinking and I will continue...I just sucked on a hall breezers which is giving a bit of relief need something more long term

It will go away later down the road when you start to eat normal foods again. Keep drinking and count your ounces. Good luck
