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. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
