I'm three weeks out and having a ton of issues with nausea. I've noticed my salvia is like really thick and white...so is my tongue. But I've got so much salvia, I have to spit it out. Is this because of dehydration? Nausea? Acid? Any thoughts appreciated.

Your mouth can produce excess saliva when your vagus nerve is irritated. The vagus nerve runs across the top of the stomach, It may have gotten bruised during surgery and is now recovering. White covering on the tongue could be thrush, which does tend to happen after surgery. However, I'm not a medical professional and I'm just throwing out ideas. Probably a much better idea to seek diagnosis and treatment (if needed) from your health care team, not from internet strangers! Call your doc.

I had the same exactly thing. My spit was like gel. It's dehydration. My issues with my spit and nausea went away after i started hydrating much more.

Thank you both so much! I'll shoot my MD and email, and start drinking more. Greatly appreciated.
