Oh how i miss chugging water

[sashalk 9]

I feel so thirsty, yet i can only slowly sip.

So do I! Ice cold!

It seems like it takes all day to drink the bare minimum.

I am pre-op and the sipping Water is the thing I most dread. I can eat tiny amounts of food -- I have been doing so a long time. Without surgery I am down from 330 to 240 but I got down to 215 and then with my insulin regimen, I would pop up 30 or 40 pounds, starve down, pop back up so I surrender and am going the surgery.

So I have been taking the post-op supps a long while - was schedule to have the surgery last Jan but I had lsot so much weight I cancelled it. then I got my diabetes diagnosis changed from Type II to Type I -- that also discouraged my interest in the surgery cause the surgery is not going to put Type I into remission Type I is an autoimmune disease unrelated to what I weight.

I can eat very small amounts of food, even just starve and have actually gotten used to being hungry a lot.

But Water is my best friend.

I drink a ton of it -- at least a gallon, probably more.

Now I have started sipping, to prepare myself for my proably-Jan 2014 surgery -- but sipping is hard.

You have my empathy,

The Water thing gets better with time. Try sucking on ice. It keeps your mouth wet and you are still getting in fluids.
