Thirsty

Okay, probably a good question for dr but thought I would run it by you guys. Since surgery I am NEVER thirsty anymore. EVER!! Not after an hour after eating, not after working out. NEVER. Gotta force myself to drink. Anyone else have this issue????

  • I am the opposite, I fine I am dying of thirst all the time now. I can't get enough water, which means I spent A LOT of time going potty!

  • I find that I'm not thirsty, either. And I know I'm not getting the 64oz/day of Water that the doctor wants us to have. I think that the reason we drank so much prior to surgery, is because we were

Odd, isn't it? I would easily drink 16 cups of water a day without thinking about it before the surgery, now I have to force myself. Maybe when it gets hotter outside... Let me know what you find out.

I am the same way prior to surgery I was drinking 120-150 oz water a day. Now 70- 90 and I have to think and force myself to do it... I will break 100 again it will just take some time I guess

I think that the reason we drank so much prior to surgery, is because we were eating anything and everything we wanted; much of which causes thirst. Our bodies also craved the fluids to push through all that food! Now, with the very scant portions, drinking doesn't interest me. I do it because I have to, but getting as much as they prescribe, is a stretch.

Great post because I thought it was just me not drinking enough. I find the timing of drinking difficult: 30 minutes before or after a meal. It's just hard to get water in especially if you are in the education field as using the bathroom is very limited!

I'm hearing you I was drinking at least 2 litres a day now I'm struggling to drink 1 litre I'm getting headache every day I'm drinking hydrayte every day to stop from getting dehydrated I'm 3.5 weeks out of surgery

I'm like Kime-Lou. I can't seem to get enough water since my surgery. Not sure what changed but I'm rolling with it!!
