I'm so thirsty...



Recommended Posts

I can't get enough to drink to keep me happy. I'm constantly thirsty. I have plenty to drink during the day but I'm still thirsty. I don't want to over drink and cause problems but I'm so thirsty and it's causing my thirst problem. Any ideas???

I'm drinking at least 6-16oz bottles of Water

I make big ice pops with a popcicle maker from the dollar store. Sometimes I use drops to flavor it or add some blueberries. But the basic ice pops have saved my life, especially in hot weather.

I am thirsty all the tome, too. I now have to keep Water on my bed stand and wake up A couple of different times every night to drink it. I'm not on any new medications besides Vitamins, so I have no idea why I'm so much thirstier. I mainly drink filtered water, and my sodium intake is low. Weird!

Thanks for all the ideas ladies. I spoke with my Drs office and was informed i could drink more than the 1oz every 30 minutes and was told about the Popsicles as well. Im feeling much better now. even though i was following the directions i was given, it was time to add more to my menu. who knew hearing i could eat Soup and mashed potatoes would be so exciting.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
