I'm two-ish weeks post op and am constantly thirsty. I can't get enough water, and I'm afraid of dehydrating. Summers where I live and super hot, 105+ for the next 10 days.

I have not been banded yet, but that is one thing that really scares me! I also live where it is quite hot. I'm always thirsty, I just wonder how thirsty I will be after banding? I think they make some stuff you can spray in your mouth to relieve "cotton mouth", but don't know the name of it!

Why can't you get enough water,you should have no trouble drinking? Even with almost ideal restriction I can drink fairly quickly.

I'm believe I'm getting enough ounces, but even after drinking I'm still thirsty, and I constantly have cotton mouth, which has always been a sign of dehydration for me. I had a situation at dinner the other day. So I'm now in the mushy phase and I was going to have pureed broccoli, (I was very excited about this) but I was so thirsty I had to have some water. After drinking I realized I couldn't have dinner yet. UGGG. Ohwell. A friend suggested ice chips so I'm going to try that, but its still alot more work over water. I never had trouble with water. I expected the trouble to be over food, but I've been totally cool with the food part.

Maybe you should talk to your doctor. I'm sure you're been tested for diabetes, but go make sure it's not that. And if you already have diabetes, that might explain your symptoms.

If your only two weeks post op it could still be the effects of the anesthesia that are making you feel so thirsty.

I know I felt that way for the first few weeks post op.
