Is there anyone else a week out dying of thirst but just can't get the amount of fluids to every not be thirsty? I'm drinking all day, but can't seem to every beat the thirst. What have you guys found that has provided you the most relieve?

you could add a sugar free popsicle. I really like the Del Monte Real fruit popsicles.

I found that not all Water is created equal. Tap water tastes like the pool to me, I'll drink it but I can't drink a lot. Life water has a really good taste to me and I can easily drink a 1 liter bottle in the first half of the day, it just seems to go down easier. I was always against bottled water for the sake of the environment but until I get a good filtration set up at home its worth it for me to be able to drink it.

I am the same way since the day of surgery (8/30/16). From the time I get up to the time I shut my eyes, I am always thirsty. Like @hmills653, not all Water tastes the same or even good to me. Gum and mints provide a little relief and allow me to change things up. I don't have a good solution for you, but wanted to let you know that you're not alone, @southernbellair79.

I'm 4 days out and so far just switching liquids as been good for me. Though Water is the best i can't drink plain water unless really cold. I was told you can use the crystal light packets.

Tracy, yes I have ice next to me all day. It helps a little. I am going to try popsicles.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
