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,

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.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
