See,if the dr says the meds and sleeve is compatible,it should be ok.

The meds help the kidneys to retain the Water and I think the big question is,how effective is your meds now and how quickly will you dehydrate now if you would cut back on your Water?

We all experience intense thirst often after the sleeve,I did anyway.Dry mouth need to drink a gallon, thirst!But you can only sip,sip,sip,sip,all the time in the beginning.The actual requirement for water is 64oz and more per day which is more than what most people drink anyway,so after you are healed you will be able to drink bigger sips and will just have to drink often,like most of us post sleeve.

Does this make sense?

I don't have DI but I know a bit a about it. I think you are right to be concerned about dehydration after the surgery if you aren't on meds for it. When you have DI it's just like being on a diuretic all the time and you Fluid requirements are higher than for other people. I would speak to my endocrinologist (or internist) about ADH supplementation (anti-diuretic hormone because that's what your body is not making enough of. HTH and good luck.

I have type 1 too. I'm scheduled for surgery on march 8 and am very scared about not being able to correct low blood sugar. There are two type 1 diabetics on here that I know of and one of them shared her experience a lil with me. Her A1c has gotten much better and she seems to have done well with the sleeve. My sugars are poorly controlled because of overeating and that's my goal with the sleeve...to stop that.

      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.
