Yes I feel like my breath has to stink I feel so self conscious. I have to admit though it has helped me keep up with my Water intake.

I'm going to go to the store in the morning and get some coconut water!

I had the worst case of dead mouth for about 2 weeks finally I just grabbed my sisters ice cold coke took a mouthful and swilled it round my mouth it felt like it woke up with a bang and I spat it out!

No amount of brushing mouthwash tea drinking Soup etc got rid of it till I did that honestly!

Well, you know, lots of people remove the corrosion on car batteries with Coke! Stands to reason it would clean your mouth ;)

lol the new selling point "rinse twice a day for a fresher more alive mouth!" lol

I use Water with caffeine in it called Avitae. You can get it at some walgreens or online. I buy it through Office Depot. If I buy 2 cases they send it to me and don't charge shipping. FedEx to me by the next day! It's great a and has no taste but water.

Biotene!! That's the kind I use, anyway... It's spendy but it's awesome.

That's the brand I used, too.

      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.
