So Thirsty!

[dklentz01983 21]

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?

How many ounces of liquid are you getting each day?

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

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
