I'm so thirsty

right after meals! This not drinking with meals is killing me. I'm following the rules but that's one I hate!

I know Shelly.. I start fixing something to eat.. and then realize that there is no use fixing something to drink.. slowly but surely I'm getting used to it.. but it is really hard I totally agree.. this whole thing requires changing everything.. but it changes you too.. YEA ~ Jan

Hi Shelly, I HATE it too! That has been the hardest part to change after my surgery. I understand why we have to do it - but it certainly doesn't make it any easier to deal with. Good luck! Barbie

Shelly - I know that it's hard, but truly, after you do it religeously, it gets much easier. I just put it out of my mind - and before you know it, by keeping busy (reading, watching TV, working, etc.), enough time will have passed that you can start drinking again. I ALWAYS used to drink when I ate, but I will be the first to admit that you do end up being more full and satisfied when you follow the rules. God bless you, Shelly, and just keep going for it!

YOUR NOT ALONE!!! I USED TO DOWN A BOTTLED WATER AND ONLY TAKE ONE BREATH! I AM ALSO VERY THIRSTY. PERHAPS WE ARE NOT DRINKING ENOUGH AND ARE A LITTLE DEHYDRATED! I DON'T KNOW, BUT YEA I'M THIRSTY! JULIE
