Dry Mouth

Good Day Gents! I have a question about Dry Mouth:  The last three or four days I have had the worst dry mouth during the night and when I wake up in the morning -- and it is not from a certain green herb...   I never had this problem before unless I was sick, but that is not the case here.  At first I though I was not drinking enough water, however, I have been getting in 64-80 ounces a day. I am almost three weeks out of Lap RNY and have been taking all my vitamins, protein, and working out everyday this last week. Anyone able to relate, have an answer or an idea for me before I call the doc? Thanks, -Z

Dry mouth lasted for at least a couple months for me.   I think the fact that I felt like I could never get enough water in was a contributing factor. 

I'm 3 weeks out also. I wake up early morning (3-4am) with a very dry mouth. I thought it was my CPAP machine. I just take a swig of water and go back to sleep.

Are you still taking any pain med....that is will dry mouth Russ

Nope, off the meds for about a week and a half now...

It's good to hear that I am not the only one then and no worry to freak!  Thanks

As you are losing weight  it passes out you body in two ways  as energy burned and the waste byproduct which is with water    so your body is dehydrating itself passing the byproducts.  This is why the water sipping is very inportantant.

Yep.  Was brutal at times.  Couldn't even talk.   It went away with time eventually.
