Yes I feel like my breath has to stink I feel so self conscious. I have to admit though it has helped me keep up with my Water intake.

I'm going to go to the store in the morning and get some coconut water!

I had the worst case of dead mouth for about 2 weeks finally I just grabbed my sisters ice cold coke took a mouthful and swilled it round my mouth it felt like it woke up with a bang and I spat it out!

No amount of brushing mouthwash tea drinking Soup etc got rid of it till I did that honestly!

Well, you know, lots of people remove the corrosion on car batteries with Coke! Stands to reason it would clean your mouth ;)

lol the new selling point "rinse twice a day for a fresher more alive mouth!" lol

I use Water with caffeine in it called Avitae. You can get it at some walgreens or online. I buy it through Office Depot. If I buy 2 cases they send it to me and don't charge shipping. FedEx to me by the next day! It's great a and has no taste but water.

Biotene!! That's the kind I use, anyway... It's spendy but it's awesome.

That's the brand I used, too.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
