Eating with a dry throat

[J'kie 35]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat..... I can't drink while eating, Omg kill me now lol. Im 6 months post op and i still hate the fact that i cant have a cold refreshing drink while i eat. That's probably the hardest thing for me. I love this app because i can finally express myself and people understand me I cant be the only one who struggles with eating with a dry throat. Sometimes i will take a sip.

Who am I to judge!? If it works for you go for it but be careful.

I sometimes have to take a swallow of Water at the end of my meal just to get the taste of the food out of my mouth.

My husband makes me get water when we go out just to make the server feel better🤣

Exactly, I sip just once or twice after eating just to wet my mouth.

I was just telling my husband that the diet isn't so bad, or the portions but NOT drinking during or immediately after a meal is HARD! But I found an odd solution for myself.

Biotene moisturizing mouth spray. My dentist gave me a bottle because I suffer from dry mouth. After some meals, I squirt a little in my mouth and it moisturizes it, doesn't taste bad either. SLIGHTLY minty. It helps me by moisturizing my mouth as well as giving my mouth a little freshness jolt. Then, there's always brushing your teeth, but not so easy when you're away from the home. Give it a try, can't hurt. Good luck.
