Are you diabetic? Do you know? That is a big sign for diabetes. Did you go off your meds after surgery? Have you checked your blood sugar levels lately?

I agree. Unless you are an athlete or do something (work in heat) that causes you to sweat excessively, 60+ ounces of Water should do it for you. Please get your blood sugar checked and tell your primary doctor about your symptoms...ASAP! That thirst is a sign that you need to do something quickly.

I've not experienced the "very thirsty" feeling. Like the others' said that is a sign your body is trying to flush out sugars.

I do, however, drink lots of Water every day. Up to 40oz while working out and up to another gallon throughout the day. Plus coffee/tea. In addition to fighting fatigue, this helps your body flush out wastes and keep your metabolism up. Keeps me from retaining Water from salt too.

I walk about a mile and a half to two miles a day or I am in the gym weight training. Could this be part of the reason? I have recently had my blood work done and I do not have diabetes. I will call my doctor anyway and ask the question.

I haven't been banded yet. But about 4 years ago - during my last attempt to lose weight, I was drinking 80 to 96 oz of Water daily. I was constantly getting up from my desk at work or out of bed during the night to use the bathroom since I was drinking so much. During this time I was also constantly thirsty! I too am not diabetic and I'm not a doctor, but I always thought the reason why I was so thirsty was because as I was constantly flushing out my system, my body was needing more Water.

I must say that during this time my weight loss was very steady. I should start it up again but I dread the constant trips to the bathroom! lol!

      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?
