Cant quench my thirst!



Recommended Posts

Ok I have two odd symptoms since being sleeved on 1/10/13 and that is my vision is blurry when I where my glasses that used to help me see perfectly. Now I can only use my glasses to see far away but if I use them to look on my phone or type everything is jumbled. I took the patch off my ear in hopes it would give me immediate relief but it hasn't. Will this ever go away?! It's scary. How will I drive if I can't see well?:0/

Secondly, I can't seem to quench my thirst!! I just spent the last 2 hours drinking 24oz and earlier today I drank Water. I can't get rid of this dry taste in my mouth. I have no moisture. Cotton mouth. Anyone else ever experienced that??

I was told its because of dehydration. The moment your mouth is dry means you aren't drinking enough. I measure my intake by using a Gatorade bottle. Oh and Gatorade makes you wanna drink more. Lol

First few weeks after surgery I was very thirsty...all I wanted was ice Water and I could never seem to get enough. After about 6 weeks the dry mouth got better.

My eyes were blurry while I was in the hospital and maybe 2 days after I was released. They are ok now. I'm wondering if its a side affect from the anesthesia?

I had blurry eyes too and was told because of anesthesia. Mine lasted quite a few weeks. Still now at 12 weeks out I think I need new contact lens prescription unless just a coincidence that my eye sight is worse.

      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?

      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.
