Dry Mouth

[Sam00190]

Im only just over a week out of surgery but ever since I'm always thirsty and have a really dry mouth. I cant seem to get much fluids as needed due to only sipping? Could do with gulping down a big glass of squash but i know how painful that will be as i accidentally had too big a sip of a drink yesterday

i did that too took a big gulp took my breath away it was so sore.

how about getting some ice lollies to suck? My mum happened to mention that there was a coulpe of callippos in the freezer (they are probably out of date and she probably fobbing me off with them ) but it might help with quenching the thirst.

I know how u feel 4 weeks post and I'd love to have a huge cold drink - watched ice cold champagne being served on tv last night and still thinking of it sipping all day but craving more - although I know I'm still not drinking enough - I'm sure things will get better tho

I carry a bottle of boots dry mouth spray with me everywhere. It's a godsend

The ice lolly/freezer pop thing really helped me too. I was sooooo thirsty. Although in this weather....hmm.

Hi, it only lasts a short time just keep sipping xx

Just keep up the great work your doing I just take little and often
Try some sugar free ice pops or frozen yog

Thanks all - bit of a nightmare after brushing teeth then having a drink out the tap of icy water - not very classy
