Hey guy's HELLLLLLLLP!

i AM 1 WEEK POST OP TODAY AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN NOT QENCH MY THIRST. ANYONE HAVE THE SAME PEOBLEMS? ANY RELIEF FROM THIS? IVE TRIED SO MANY THINGS AND NOTHING TASTE GOOD OR MAKE ME DRINK AND FEEL YAAA THAT IT THE SPOT.

PLEASE COMMENT IM DYING HERE

I'm 3 weeks out and am STILL always dying of thirst. I go to Sonic every day and get 2 Route 44 cups of ice and munch on them all day long. It's the only thing that really ever quenches my thirst.

Everyday I buy a large Water EXTRA ICE from Sonic.

Then I drink 1 or 2 Lipton Citrus green Tea Lemonade. Chilled very delicious.

Is that decaff? I almost bought some but caffeine causes dehydration, especially when you are newly out.

To help me be able to get liquids down in the hospital I used Bigelow Decaff Peppermint Tea & truvia. The warm liquid at first helped, especially with the new stomach. Since I was trying to get water & the tea down the tea would really cool off during the night and I found it tasted good cold, where I couldn't get cold water down. Eventually the cold tea made it so I could tolerate colder water.

I think drinking out a small one ounce cup or a shot glass works better because I also take in less air which allows me to feel more quenched.

Fun Fact.....peppermint is great for soothing your stomach. Years ago when I worked in an ER, when someone would come in with a horrid smell, we would open peppermint oil all over the 3k sq ft ER and it would sooth our tummies.

Use LOTS of ice. It really helped me.

Ice is now my best friend Powerade zero is what I go to when I feel like I am dying of thirst - which I think I felt the first 3 weeks post surgery, then paniced about getting dehydrated and sent back to the hospital. The Powerade really seemed to help - just kept it on ice and drank constantly.

I used to drink a six pack of diet dr. P a day. Stopped cold turkey and now I drink water like crazy.....I don't seem to ever get my thirst quenched.
