I have done amazing with food and have lost 60 lbs since my Halloween surgery but I feel like I want to drink fluids ALL the time...then I drink too much and it comes back up...then I want to hydrate more...I do so much of this that I miss some meals... anyone else having or had this problem? Any suggestions?

Is it a physical feeling to want to drink? Or a deliberate attempt to fill your tummy?

Perhaps measure out the water you need to drink each day...into about 8 to 10 containers, only drink one per hour but pace yourself in that hour, make sure you don't consume it all in the first 10 or so minutes.

It's a feeling like I am thirsty...not hungry or trying to feel full...I will try what you suggested

Way be worth checking in with your doctor in case of any medical issues, particular if you are getting at least the recommended minimum of water. I have sjogren's syndrome, worse symptom for me is dry mouth, when sjogren's first presented itself to me I mistook dry mouth for thirst. I am not suggesting you have sjogren's as being thirsty despite drinking plenty of fluids could be indicative of many things.
