Thirsty

[lalinda1236 5]

Day 10 and I'm thirsty! I know I'm a little dehydrated I know. But how can I make it better if I have to sip? I want to drink my 4 oz fast but I'm scared of making myself sick, but on the same token I'm so thirsty! Will I be sick from drinking too fast?

I found that iced cold Water satisfies my thirst. I was so used to gulping down water when I was thirsty, and now we can't! So I ice it up and sip slowly, swish is around my mouth and it helps. I talk all day at work so I'm always thirsty! I'm 9 days post op!

Everyone is different . I personally couldn't have chugged that early... Still cant really now. But Test it....an ounce at a time....

I'm about 6 weeks post op. at first I was really scared about getting dehydrated cuz I used to drink so much but now I'm fine. Just drink slow & steady when you can

Test yourself. I just found that I burped all the time if I drank too fast. I just take my glass with me everywhere I go. My husband thinks I am crazy, but he is used to it now. I bought a 22 oz Tervis and fill it 3 times. Then I know I will have no worries! You will figure out the pace. It also matters on how tight you keep your band. I have only had on fill over the year so I can do more then a sip, but no chugging!

I keep my Water loaded with crushed ice. That way when I take a sip, I get some ice too and suck / chew on it. Makes the sip seem like a little more that way. I'm 12 days post op.

This has been a concern of mine too.

Thanks for the info.

If you chug most likely you will throw up, take small sips frequently. You will get used to the new way, try sucking on a SF Popsicle or some ice chips this will sometimes help curb the thirst.

Ice chips in the mouth may help.
