Before surgery I mixed a gallon of crystal light a day (128 oz) and I didn’t try....that’s just how much I drank. Post surgery I have to force myself to drink 64 oz. I just don’t feel thirsty so I forget and of course when I do remember I can only drink a little bit. Does THIRST feeling ever come back? Any one else that doesn’t feel thirsty?? It seems so weird that making stomach smaller interferes with thirst unless grehlin is involved?? Just curious.

I am 3 weeks post op and have experienced thirst. In fact, I’ve had to stop myself from chugging water like I used to. I have noticed that some days water doesn’t go down very well but I can drink tons of crystal light and vice versa. Maybe it’s a flavor thing?
