8 Days post op - Dry mouth?

Does anyone else have this going on? Anything we can do other then always sipping a drink?

Thanks,

Karl

Yes! I had this big time right after my surgery. I eventually used hard sugar free candies to help my dry mouth. The best were the Walgreens store brand called nice. That really helped, I just kept a bunch in my pocket and at My desk . This does go away, mine did around month 3.

Awesome thanks for the great information

NP, don't worry, all these new weird annoyances go away pretty fast. Hang in there!

I talked with my dentist about dry mouth because I've seen a number of comments about tooth probs post bypass. He recommended I use Biotene toothpaste and mouth spray, as well as Biotene or Act lozenges. He also said not to use mouthwash with alcohol in it. And drink plenty of water. I have good teeth and don't want to run the risk of probs!

I have been using Biotene mouth spray.

Mu dry mouth is gone. But while I had it, I chewed gum, drank Water, ate sugar free popsies and sugar free Jello. Good luck.
