Does anyone else have like an unquenchable Thirst? I can't seem to get enough Water, I just keep wanting more. I would rather drink water than eat food. Help?

Hi there, How much Water are you drinking? If you are not drinking enough then you will definitely feel thirsty. But if you are drinking enough then I would speak to your doctor because thirst is a potential sign for diabetes and you should get that checked out.

I agree with both of the above posts.

It'd be best to get checked by your doc so you can treat what is actually wrong.

I feel the same. Although I'm still not able to get my 64oz of Water in, I feel constantly thirsty. I've always been a big water guzzler and Before surgery I could easily drink a gallon in a day but now I'm constantly thirsty and hungry, not able to drink enough but can't seem to shake the thirst either. I'm so lost.

I have been checked for diabetes and that isn't an issue, I will talk to my doctor about that again though. I am probably drinking close to 64 oz, but the problem is the waiting to drink when I am not eating. I just would rather drink all day, and when I know I have to stop cause I have to eat it's really hard.

Ok, if you've been checked for diabetes, then you probably need more salt. Check to see how much you are getting. Aim for 1500-2500mg. You don't want too much because we have trouble getting enough potassium, and too much salt messes up that balance.

I think your electrolyte balance may be off. Talk to your doctor. Maybe a Gatorade zero would help.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
