Nikkinee 94 Posted November 13, 2016 It's been a sweltering 38 degrees here the last few days (in Australia) and I feel like I've had my drink bottle permanently attached to my lips. I'm not tolerating plain Water (no matter what temp) so I've been adding sugar free cordial and drinking that. But I always feel thirsty, and I feel like I'm literally drinking all day. Can anyone suggest anything that might help? It's not even officially summer yet. Aghhh. I'm 5 weeks post op, so still sipping...and sipping...and sipping.

Aggiemae 739 Posted November 13, 2016 How much Fluid are you getting per day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikkinee 94 Posted November 14, 2016 Usually at least 1.5 - 2L (50-60oz). I know this isn't enough but I honestly don't know how I can get any more in. I sip all day but it hurts if I take too much in at a time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigViffer 3,544 Posted November 14, 2016 Unfortunately you have answered your question. Nothing is slaking your thirst because you are still thirsty! I know it is difficult in the beginning, and you may never regain your taste for Water (I haven't yet). All you can do is keep sipping. Don't forget that broth and milk count towards your Fluid intake. And you may need a little bit of sodium to help you retain some fluids as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
