debbie813 20 Posted May 1, 2015 What do you do when youre really thirsty? I had some broth and after that I was so thirsty, I drank a few ounes of Water all at once. Luckily I didn't get sick. But what do you do when you get so thirsty? I want to drink 8 ounces of Water all at once and I know it'll make me sick. Any info is always appreciated.

CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted May 1, 2015 Just keep sipping. Doing so should alleviate the thirst. Tepid Water tends to be absorbed faster than cold, and may be easier to swallow. Add some lemonade flavor enhancer drops, as lemon can quite thirst-quenching. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cujucuyo 34 Posted May 1, 2015 Small sips is key right now, 1-2 weeks more and you should be able to drink a bit more. Your stomach is healing so it's best to take it slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogofulm 2,440 Posted May 1, 2015 Yup, just keep sipping. You don't want to get dehydrated. During the first couple of weeks, fluids are even more important than Protein. Try to get in the habit of sipping continuously. IT will serve you well down the road. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CE24 23 Posted May 8, 2015 I took a big gulp accidentally about a week out and realized it didn't hurt. Not telling you to try that but I definitely don't have to sip my Water. I know a lot of people that can take normal amounts in their mouth. You can chug a water bottle but I personally can take 4-6 good sized gulps with no issues.

LSF 264 Posted May 8, 2015 I too can take a few gulps. If I have too many I'll start to feel line it's going to come back up but I can easily do 3-4 gulps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
