Okay, probably a good question for dr but thought I would run it by you guys. Since surgery I am NEVER thirsty anymore. EVER!! Not after an hour after eating, not after working out. NEVER. Gotta force myself to drink. Anyone else have this issue????

Odd, isn't it? I would easily drink 16 cups of Water a day without thinking about it before the surgery, now I have to force myself. Maybe when it gets hotter outside... Let me know what you find out.

I am the same way prior to surgery I was drinking 120-150 oz Water a day. Now 70- 90 and I have to think and force myself to do it... I will break 100 again it will just take some time I guess

I am the opposite, I fine I am dying of thirst all the time now. I can't get enough Water, which means I spent A LOT of time going potty!

I find that I'm not thirsty, either. And I know I'm not getting the 64oz/day of Water that the doctor wants us to have.

I think that the reason we drank so much prior to surgery, is because we were eating anything and everything we wanted; much of which causes thirst. Our bodies also craved the fluids to push through all that food! Now, with the very scant portions, drinking doesn't interest me. I do it because I have to, but getting as much as they prescribe, is a stretch.

Great post because I thought it was just me not drinking enough. I find the timing of drinking difficult: 30 minutes before or after a meal. It's just hard to get Water in especially if you are in the education field as using the bathroom is very limited!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
