gilit 2 Posted February 18, 2015 I am having my surgery in a week and very excited! I have been on a liquid diet for a few days now and find that my mouth is very dry- have been drinking Water. I am also have terrible gag reflex. Is this normal? How am I going to survive post surgery? Gigi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieLogical 8,710 Posted February 18, 2015 Post-surgery, everything is VERY different. I will say that in the pre-op diet, it's common to develop halitosis as your body goes into ketosis and the ketones cause your breath to be bad and your mouth to be dry. This is only temporary.
