How long did your dry mouth last



Recommended Posts

Drinking 80-100 oz a day. I have a CPAP, and it is humidified, but I am waking up about 8 times a night with the dryest mouth. Nee a few sprays of Biotene then back to sleep.

Anyone have this and when does it go away?

I'm 13 weeks post op. I get dry mouth fairly regularly and it's generally when the scales are moving.

My belief is that my dry mouth is from being in a state of ketosis. Keep sipping!

Cheers,

I have a CPAP and get dry mouth almost every night. But it has been happening since I started using the CPAP machine 3 years ago. I just figured it was normal.

I am pre-op and I have dry mouth and furry teeth whenever I'm in a state of ketosis. Typically, I stay in Ketosis if I'm under 40ish carbs... or like now when my carbs are sometimes a bit higher than that, but my overall calories are under 800.

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op and wake up every night with dry mouth! I'm hitting 64oz of liquid daily. So I tried to up it yesterday to eliminate that terrible nightly dry mouth. But I still had it last night! I will keep trying to up the liquids. It's like a hangover without all of the fun!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
