Ok since my surgery on 2-20 I have been insatiably thirsty. I have heard before that when you feel hungry all the time your brain is trying to tell you that you need fluids. I just want to chug a gallon of ice cold Water. And I can't, it hurts just to take a few sips. When i try to eat other foods i have to force myself because all i really crave is Water. Am i alone? Does anyone else have this crazy craving for water?

I can't see how drinking Water outside 30 mins both ways of eating can be bad, even if done all day, if you drink small amounts.. just don't drink too much. 6 days out.. that's why they don't want you doing anything for a few weeks, because a lot of your time and energy expended is trying to get the proper food and drink into yourself.

Try warm liquids. They may work better for you

I am also always thirsty and can drink with ease. It worried me that I can bc others can't...
Good app for Water counting intake?



Everyone is different after surgery. Sometimes the swelling takes longer to go down. I had a lot of difficulty in the beginning but now drink with ease.

MyFitnessPal tracks Water along with your daily food. I drink a lot of Crystal Light so what I do is fill up a 32 oz Powerade bottle. As long as I get two of those down a day then I know I'm hitting my Fluid goals.

I had forgotten about how thirsty I was at the beginning until you mentioned it. It went away for me. Just keep sipping your Water it should calm down. I don't know why we get soo thirsty but I remember it and then you cant quench it because you can drink so little. It is like torture lol. It will get better

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
