Anyone else have really dry mouth during the night?



Recommended Posts

I could not. Only in soft stage be careful with eggs early on I are a lot of egg beaters I was out one morning and cooked whole eggs and got really really sick. We are all different so you may have no problem but I would not wish that on anyone.

OMG - the dry mouth at night!!!!!! It's like someone put glue in my mouth. I have noticed if I am over my 64 ounces, it's not as bad. I guess that's my clue!!!!

I was allowed scrambled eggs during puree stage. Soft scrambled eggs - you can add Water, I add a splash of milk and cook them on low heat.

Sometimes I wake up at night and my mouth is so dry I have to get up and get a drink. I also take a medicine which gives you a dry mouth so it may be a side effect.

I did not get eggs until the soft stage. Some people have problems with eggs. I was fortunate and could eat them. I have some days where I can eat two eggs over mediumand others when 1 egg scrambled with cheese fills me up.

Onedaycloser,

I am not sure how far out you are from your surgery, but if a food does not agree with you the first time, wait a while and try it again. The first time I had an egg, I added milk and some cheese to help make them moister and cooked on a low heat.

Riberty, I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow (Monday), will take your suggestion and give it another try someday. Not a huge fan of eggs but that was scary..I think your right, too dry.

Yesterday had a small (1oz) of deli turkey smeared with cream cheese..ate micro bites and that was fine. Refried Beans with a smidge of cheese was good and always love broccoli cheese Soup 98% fat free.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
