Ok so I'm now three week post op woohoooo. I feel like I'm constantly sipping my water throughout the day. However my mouth is always dry. What gives? Not to mention that gross taste is still in my mouth even after brushing.

    The gross taste is from ketosis (which is a good thing! You're burning fat!). The bad taste is normal and will go away eventually. As for being thirsty, just keep sipping. Eventually you'll be able to drink a little more at one time and it will get easier.

    it does eventually go away and after brushing your teeth and tongue try Listerine that helped mine. Track your ounces of fluid and you should at least get 64 minimum in a day so if you have not that could be why or did you have something with more sodium in it that could cause
