Drink that water!

Since surgery I have had an issue that I didnt discuss much as no one seems to have the same problem.

 

I get a thick white coating on my tounge and in my throat that has been driving me insane!It got progressively worse over the last month.

 

Yesterday I realized it must have soemthing to so with the milk Im drinking.I cut back on the milk,but not a lot,and because of this I became dry.I could feel my lips was even getting dry.So,I tackled a bottle of water,which I dont do often as I still struggle to drink water,and almost immediately the mouth started feeling better.

 

Today I cut the milk a little more and had a lot more water.My mouth was actually fine most of the day except tonight when I had a large cup of tea with lots of milk and didnt rinse my mouth immediately.I am now chugging some water and my mouth already feels better.I still dont know why the milk does this but I now realize that water is super important.Not tea,not crystal light but water.

 

My mission for this week is to double my water intake.The dr halved my BP meds and there is a powerful diuretic in it.Of course I will have to stay away from the scale for at least a week (hehehe...who am I kidding?) as I will go up in water weight.But they say the best cure for that is more water.Will also juice some celery and cucumber as it is a diuretic as well.

 

Went for a dexa scan today and some bloods.Vit D and A is low.LDL is still a bit high but HDL is also high,which is great!Will see what the B12 is like.

 

Ok,now tomorrow I am going to exercise.I think if I keep on saying it,it will be so!

I was told that a minimum of 64 oz of water is MANDATORY, so it must be pretty important! Keep some protein drinks with you for times that you can't eat on schedule. These new stomachs shouldn't go hungry!

The white coating on your tongue sounds like Thrush ( yeast infection) call your doctor. Good luck and take care!
