Hi fellow Sleevers-

I am almost 2 weeks Post op and I CANNOT quench my thirst for anything! I have tried crystal light, Water, juice, Vitamin water, SF slurpee(Yuck) and NOTHING works, ANY suggestions????

Aww I am sure that is so hard. I wish I could give you advice but I cant since I still have another week. It has been four weeks and you still cant drink? Is that normal?

I found that Crystal Lite Lemonade helped to quench faster than other flavors. Maybe it will work for you too:-)

I ditto the popsicles suggestion. I am almost at two weeks out, and they are the only thing that quench my thirst.

I think I had a similar thing and reckoned it was a side effect of the PPI, I always had a dry mouth even when I had just swigged some liquid. It went after a few weeks of driving me crazy as my body adjusted to my meds.

I remember the super thirsty feeling. Have yall tried Smart Water? That helped get me through.

HOW Long does this thirst thing last????

So 3ed week after total gastrectomy, similer to bariatric surgery; but the whole stomachs out. My body is telling me thirsty All the time, it lessens when i eat something but i am going insande.

I will try popsicles and ice.
