I drink my required 60+ ounces of water a day but I always feel thirsty. I mean REALLY thirsty. What gives? Does anyine else have this problem?

Are you diabetic? Do you know? That is a big sign for diabetes. Did you go off your meds after surgery? Have you checked your blood sugar levels lately?

I agree. Unless you are an athlete or do something (work in heat) that causes you to sweat excessively, 60+ ounces of water should do it for you. Please get your blood sugar checked and tell your primary doctor about your symptoms...ASAP! That thirst is a sign that you need to do something quickly.

I've not experienced the "very thirsty" feeling. Like the others' said that is a sign your body is trying to flush out sugars.

I do, however, drink lots of Water every day. Up to 40oz while working out and up to another gallon throughout the day. Plus coffee/tea. In addition to fighting fatigue, this helps your body flush out wastes and keep your metabolism up. Keeps me from retaining water from salt too.

I walk about a mile and a half to two miles a day or I am in the gym weight training. Could this be part of the reason? I have recently had my blood work done and I do not have diabetes. I will call my doctor anyway and ask the question.

I haven't been banded yet. But about 4 years ago - during my last attempt to lose weight, I was drinking 80 to 96 oz of Water daily. I was constantly getting up from my desk at work or out of bed during the night to use the bathroom since I was drinking so much. During this time I was also constantly thirsty! I too am not diabetic and I'm not a doctor, but I always thought the reason why I was so thirsty was because as I was constantly flushing out my system, my body was needing more water.

I must say that during this time my weight loss was very steady. I should start it up again but I dread the constant trips to the bathroom! lol!
