Had RNY on March 25. I meet my Water requirement but am thirsty all the time. My mouth is always dry. The dental hygienist even noticed this when getting my teeth cleaned. Is this normal?

Thirst is one of the symptoms of Ketosis.

Has your blood work come back normal? I'm a year out and find that getting my fluids is the hardest part of this. I'm just starting to feel thirsty again.

I think wildgrits is correct. It is probably Ketosis which is totally expected at this stage. Also I bet your breath stinks! (LOL, sorry but I know it is probably true). You will also notice things taste different.......

I have it, too. I found that sucking on a sugarless candy (I love the Jolly Rancher ones!) helps a lot.

I did not experience this, but you can try Biotene, it is supposed to help with that.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
