Hi guys I know this is a really gross topic lol. But ever since I had the surgery which was 2 weeks ago tomorrow, all I do is spit. I seem to have a ton of mucus in my mouth so, whenever I drink anything it eventually comes back up. I mean it's so bad that I run through at least 3 Water bottles full of just spit and sometimes acid. Is this normal ? Is anyone else experiencing this ? I showed my surgeon and he looked at it as if everything is okay and I hate it :(. HELP PLEASEEE !

I spit a lot when I have reached 'full'. Are you sure that you aren't drinking too fast or too much in one sitting? When I reach over capacity for 'baby', that's what I call my pouch, I get very mucousy and spitty. Try sipping and taking it slow. If that doesn't work, then be persistent with your doctor to find out what the problem is.

Extreme mucous is the slimies. You went too fast and either too much, past full, not chewed enough or a texture you can't handle. I get this way still at 7 weeks from chicken or broccoli or not chewed well food, just not ready for them

I had this same exact issue. It was sp had that I had to constantly have a spit cup with me wherever I went because saliva was ALWAYS coming up. What I can tell you is that it will pass I promise you. I was about a month and a half out before it stopped all the way thank god lol. But I understand how you are feeling but jst know it does stop eventually ! :) :) just keep looking forward it only gets better from here !!

It's also possible to have nausea without actually feeling like you're going to vomit; that'll make you produce tons of extra saliva......that watery mouth syndrome.

      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.
