I easily drink more than the 64 ounces needed per day, but for the last 2 weeks after my surgery on Nov 9, I wake up at least 6 times a night completely dry mouthed. I keep a bottle of Water by the bed so I can drink a little bit, but I hope this goes away soon. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

I was reading "weight loss surgery for dummies" and it listed dry mouth as a side effect after surgery. I can last up to four months.

I'm always thirsty in the middle of the night. Pre and post op.

I use the Biotene toothpaste and mouth rinse before bed to help dry mouth. I still use my regular toothpaste in the AM and during the day.

I had that for awhile. The first 2 weeks sucked badly. It's still happening but not every day.

Are you still using your CPAP if you are that can cause dry mouth cuz I'm still on my CPAP cause I have reached my BMI 30 yet!!!

Me too. I swear sometimes I wake up and my tongue is like friggin' velcro on the roof of my mouth lol. I just keep a bottle of Water handy not sure what else to do about it. Tit for tat I suppose!

That was the worst side effect for me. My surgery was Nov 9th and even now I have an extremely dry mouth. The shakes make it so much worse. I have to bring Water when I go for a walk because my mouth is so dry. Sf Popsicles help a bit.
