Why does my mouth get so dryed



Recommended Posts

Mine too! I bought some biotene products yesterday. One of them was a spray that I keep by my bed and spray my mouth several times at night. There is also an oral rinse and some tab type deals you can suck on.

It's like a sign that you are having GERD. My doctor told me that

I am the same and up and down all night drinking. I have never had such a dry mouth. I wondered if it was because we drink so much during the day that our bodies get panicked without it? That's my theory anyway!

I too have dry mouth. I am drinking all the Water I can but am using popsicles to help moisten my mouth in the morning before I eat Breakfast. One popsicle and glass of Water, Breakfast, two glasses of water, lunch, two glasses of water, dinner, two glasses of water, (did I get all my Protein in?) supplemental snack, glass of water. It's also how I check to make sure I am eating at the right time. If you can get more water in then great but that is 64oz and it's about all I can do.

      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.
