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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
