Does anyone else have like an unquenchable Thirst? I can't seem to get enough Water, I just keep wanting more. I would rather drink water than eat food. Help?

Hi there, How much Water are you drinking? If you are not drinking enough then you will definitely feel thirsty. But if you are drinking enough then I would speak to your doctor because thirst is a potential sign for diabetes and you should get that checked out.

I agree with both of the above posts.

It'd be best to get checked by your doc so you can treat what is actually wrong.

I feel the same. Although I'm still not able to get my 64oz of Water in, I feel constantly thirsty. I've always been a big water guzzler and Before surgery I could easily drink a gallon in a day but now I'm constantly thirsty and hungry, not able to drink enough but can't seem to shake the thirst either. I'm so lost.

I have been checked for diabetes and that isn't an issue, I will talk to my doctor about that again though. I am probably drinking close to 64 oz, but the problem is the waiting to drink when I am not eating. I just would rather drink all day, and when I know I have to stop cause I have to eat it's really hard.

Ok, if you've been checked for diabetes, then you probably need more salt. Check to see how much you are getting. Aim for 1500-2500mg. You don't want too much because we have trouble getting enough potassium, and too much salt messes up that balance.

I think your electrolyte balance may be off. Talk to your doctor. Maybe a Gatorade zero would help.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
