Does anyone else wake up at night or in the mornings with extremely dry mouth? Mine is terrible and so of course I want to drink a lot of Water and then I cause my stomach to hurt. This only started since I had surgery.

I has a VSG but yes, I get terrible dry mouth as well since surgery (now 4 weeks out). I don't know if it's related to the surgery or if I'm sleeping with my mouth open. I was never a back sleeper before surgery but have now become used to it, but I know I'm more prone to breathe through my mouth while on my back. I had some days last week where I had to resist that urge to chug because I was so thirsty.

I called my doctor Thursday and they seem to think I am dehydrated, they told me to increase my Water intake but it's so hard and so I honestly don't know what to do. 64oz is 4 of my water bottles and I have only been getting in 2 or 3 bottles a day.

I believe this is a common issue. I know water/ s/f Gatorade. Or even a small amount of pedialyte mixed with Water and ice... if tolerated... can give me some relief. Biotene lozenges and such can help me sometimes.
My young feels like a dry parrot mouth!!!

You have got to try hard to get your 64 ozs of Water in or you will get dehydrated!! My eyes and face start to get really dry and itchy if I don't drink enough water. I am almost 3 months out and I can easily drink all of my water now. Most of the struggle is establishing brand new habits, but once I did everything got much easier!

Try drinking coconut Water first thing in the morning.....that is what my Dr told me to do to counter the early morning feeling of dehydration and the feeling of nausea. Coconut water has helped me

Are there other things you can have besides plain water that can help you get it down? I can have broth, herbal tea, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, Protein Shakes, crystal light and other no calorie flavored waters... All of these count toward my water numbers.

Not to replace hydration but Biotene is amazing for dry mouth. I had a med that was THEE worst and it was a lifesaver. They have a mouthwash and lozenges so it'll help with the SYMPTOMS but not the cause.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
