Hello all! I had my surgery this morning at 7:30. I'm up in my room and I feel great! Very minimal pain and nausea. I was wondering if anyone had any remedies for dry mouth. The nurse gave me water with sponges for my mouth, but it just helps for a few minutes and my mouth is dry again.

Any advice would be helpful! I'm so happy to start my journey to weight loss!

Welcome to the losers bench!

When I was in the hospital I preferred water at room temperature to avoid any shock to my healing stomach. I would juts sip as much as I could and I did a lot of walking . The best advise I can give is to sip...sip...sip...and walk...walk...walk...

I can't sip yet, I have to wait for my swallow study tomorrow morning. I have been up walking, which I find is very comforting! Thank you for the advise!

We got ice chips... but it felt like someone had painted my mouth with a glue stick!  so... it took a few days before I felt less glue-sticky!  LOL  Just keep sucking!

I used a generic dry mouth spray.  It was an amazing thing to have the first couple days.

Second this. I used mine for the first day some what. I was allowed ice chips after surgery so that helped, as well. Biotene was def great in between pieces.

And congrats on surgery!

I wore my cpap with humidity turned up almost all of the first day.  I was not allowed anything for 24 hours.
