Does anyone have extreme thirst during pre-op? I can't satisfy no matter what I drink. Is it ketosis?

[kgunchic 16]

Much love, hugs and prayers for those getting sleeved today.

I had great thirst during the pre-op phase. I was drinking a gallon or more of Water a day and never felt refreshed.

My surgery is tomorrow!!!! I am really getting scared! I have wanted this for so long, and I really can't believe it is here, but I am not looking forward to the recovery part. I have heard it go both ways....really rough, and easy peasy. I am hoping for the easy peasy! I am worried about Water intake, sipping instead of big drinks, throwing up (i absolutely hate throwing up or dry heaving), and eating as slow as i should be. On the other hand, I am soooo excited to be starting this journey and being the best me I can be!! It was 20 years ago that I was my thinnest. Not sure how small that even is. We got this....those sleeved this month!! Ohhh and it is also my birthday in a few weeks. It will be interesting to see how I get to Celebrate that!!

Thank you 3in1wOL! I thought I was going crazy- no sooner I finish a big glass of water , that I need more. My stomach fills bit I can't quench the thirst. I'm gulping too and worried after surgery that I'll feel this way but won't be able to gulp!

I never worried about gulping post-surgery when I was pre....but there have been times since Wednesday (surgery was Tuesday) that I thought, "I am going to forget I can't gulp and end up throwing up". Fortunately that hasn't happened. There have been a few times I have had too many sips too close together...when that happens I get a pain in my belly and it feels like a little cramp. I must say I am really getting much better at knowing exactly how much I can sip at a time. You will do great....stay positive.
