Did anyone have an extremely dry mouth around 6 days out post-op? I've been getting my fluids in but all of the sudden starting today my mouth is dry even after drinking Water. I think it might be from the medications but even if it was, why did it just start today?

Yesss I did !!! It went away probably my second week .

Yes! So dry I had to constantly have Water nearby. It finally resolved after a couple weeks.

This is good to hear. I went to the doctor for my weekly post-up checkup. I've been feeling really well considering the surgery. But I'm always thirsty. I also have high blood pressure and take BP medicine. He also said my heartrate was high which could either be dehydration or a pouch leak. Now, I don't think it's a pouch leak because there is no other pain and no nauseusness. He said he wanted me to increase my fluid intake. It's already at 60oz. Going to double it to 80. But I'm glad to see others having the same "issue!"

Weird I experienced this too! It went away after about two weeks!

This was the worst side effect for me. It was bad. I ate sugar free Popsicles and tried biotene mouthwash and spray

I had this so bad, it turned into some weird tongue thing. My doctor prescribed some tablets to dissolve on my tongue to get rid of it.

My father suggested Gatorade and it actually worked. It got rid of the dry mouth for hours! Idk if it will stick but it definitely was a short term solution.
