Ok since my surgery on 2-20 I have been insatiably thirsty. I have heard before that when you feel hungry all the time your brain is trying to tell you that you need fluids. I just want to chug a gallon of ice cold Water. And I can't, it hurts just to take a few sips. When i try to eat other foods i have to force myself because all i really crave is Water. Am i alone? Does anyone else have this crazy craving for water?

I can't see how drinking Water outside 30 mins both ways of eating can be bad, even if done all day, if you drink small amounts.. just don't drink too much. 6 days out.. that's why they don't want you doing anything for a few weeks, because a lot of your time and energy expended is trying to get the proper food and drink into yourself.

Try warm liquids. They may work better for you

I am also always thirsty and can drink with ease. It worried me that I can bc others can't...
Good app for Water counting intake?



Everyone is different after surgery. Sometimes the swelling takes longer to go down. I had a lot of difficulty in the beginning but now drink with ease.

MyFitnessPal tracks Water along with your daily food. I drink a lot of Crystal Light so what I do is fill up a 32 oz Powerade bottle. As long as I get two of those down a day then I know I'm hitting my Fluid goals.

I had forgotten about how thirsty I was at the beginning until you mentioned it. It went away for me. Just keep sipping your Water it should calm down. I don't know why we get soo thirsty but I remember it and then you cant quench it because you can drink so little. It is like torture lol. It will get better

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
