Waking Up Super Thirssty?



Recommended Posts

I've been woken up the last 2 nights craving Water. Is this normal for 7 days post op?

I see both my cardiologist and vgs surgon tomorrow.

I definitely think so, I always wake up thirsty. Do you keep something by your bed to drink? It's so hard to get all of your Water in early on.

I am on the pre-op liquid diet and find myself thirsty all the time. I get thirsty immediately after drinking a Protein Shake. I wonder whether it has something to do with the high amount of Protein.< /p>

Totally normal. I was like that for 3 months because it took that long before I could get all my Water in. Now I just have a bottle or glass a water on my night stand so that if I wake up in the middle of the night I can take a sip without going anywhere. Also, I am in the habit to take a drink first thing when I get up.

I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op, and I don't have this as much as I did in the very beginning. In the beginning I felt like my mouth was glued shut with sand when I woke up. It was horrible. I'm nowhere near that now. Maybe just give it a few more weeks and see if you notice a difference? Good luck!

I have had the same problem. I have a hard time getting in all my Water during the day. No matter how much I sip. I am literally on the edge. I hope that this gets better. In the beginning I wound up in the hospital twice with severe dehydration and I would not like a repeat. My students even remind me to drink while I'm teaching! I don't think they liked the subs very much while I was out. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
