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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
