I just can't quench my thirst for the life of me!



Recommended Posts

I'm soooo thirsty and there's nothing that's quenching my thirst. I'm dying to take a huge gulp. (Not gonna happen)

Try sucking on ice. You'll eventually be able to gulp, but early on your tummy may not like it.

A good friend of mine who was sleeved suggested making crystal light ice cubes, putting them in a baggie, and crushing them, then chewing on those. Helps you satisfy your desire to chew, and helps get fluids in!

Oh I'm struggling the same with this unquenchable thirst. Everyone keeps telling me that I must not be taking in enough fluids but I do intake about 60oz a day and that should be able normal. I even wake up in the middle of the night to sip. I had a dream I was chugging Water the other night that's how bad it had been, I guess the ice chips thing has sort of helped but on a very limited bases, The sipping does not last forever but until then hang in there and eventually normal drinking will resume! Good luck!

I found taking a small very cold sip of Water and letting it flood my tongue before swallowing helped. Also, sometimes I would take a mouthful drink, but hold it in my mouth for a moment while I would swallow it in three parts. After several weeks you will be able to take larger sips. Hang in there. Good luck.

I had trouble with Water it seemed like it didn't want to go down the right tube...Than I found anything I drank was better with crushed Ice. Than I moved to Grape Propel it went down easier than water. Than I know this sounds weird but grape juice over ice, It was like I had no trouble drinking that at all. ...And for the last week orange gatoraide over Ice or Cold gatoraide or poweraide. in a small bottle! But one month out and thats what I fight with is the thirst, and I try to wake up and drink at night also...Good Luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
