Staying hydrated

Hello everyone,

I am 2 weeks post op and I'm having so much problems with staying hydrated. I feel like I have Peanut Butter in my mouth all the time. I have tried crystal lite and almost every other drink and I hate the taste of everything even Water. I have been up since 6:30 drinking water for the past 3 days but its not helping at all. Any suggestions?

I am trying so hard. I have a horrible taste in my mouth also and it makes me nauseous I have to brush just about every hour.

I am 30lbs lighter but sometimes I wish I didn't get this surgery because I can really use a nice tall glass of ice Water or maybe 2 or 3. And a PEPSI !!!!!! Lol ugh it gets greater later ????

Give it time - this will pass. You will be able to drink water again. It took me about 4 months to get rid of the cotton mouth.

Try freezing some jello or fruit2o it helps and taste good...also get the Edys sugar freeze pops there super delish and will help with hydrating :)
