I had the same problem for awhile. Your dry mouth will get better when you can get all your water in 64oz. I sometimes add a little crystal light with mine. Also I am told that you can count tea as water if it is decaffinated. As for the weight loss, do you feel it is too little, or too much. I think it is GREAT! Much success to you.

I also had the dry mouth problem when I wasn't drinking enough water & still do somewhat if I don't drink at least 64 ounces a day. It's hard to get all your wtaer in, but just sip, sip, sip; it does add up eventually.
