I am 4 days post op and I am so thirsty!! I am drinking the one medicine cup every 15 minutes slowly, but I am so thirsty. Did anyone experience this? Oh and I have dry mouth, I've been using biotene. Like I said, I'm really thirsty lol!!

Hi Elyse519, I had my surgery on the 18th and yes I've been super thirsty since.

Yep-I've been drinking about 8 oz an hour or over 90 oz a day.

oh, my surgery was on 7/18/16, too.

WEre you put on any anti-nausea meds? I could not eat enough ice when I was in the hospital. We discovered after my continuous complaints about thirst that the anti-nausea med I was on had the side effect of cotton mouth. Once I was off it , it got better, but hung on somewhat for a few more days.

Just a thought,

pam

I meant to put I was 3 days post op, my surgery was on the 19th.

Yes when I was in the hospital they gave me some anti-nausea medicine also. It's probably the side effects of the medication I had. But I am still thirsty and I don't know what to do to quench my thirst lol.
