SUPER THIRSTY
I am 12 days into my pure liquid diet for a surgery date of 3/20. I drink waaayyy more than the required 64oz of fluid. I am drinking my protein and having sugar free jello's etc. But I am so thirsty. How can I be so thirsty with all of the fluid I am drinking. My mouth feels so dry the back of my tounge feels like carpet (TMI). I am actually water logged I have so much fluid in me. Nothing bu****er will even cut the thirst in my mouth. Has anyone else experienced this? Please provide suggestions. I am starting to get nauseated at the taste of sugar free jello's and popsicles. I am drinking between 70-90g of protein a day. Two more days to go and it is getting hot outside.
I just read your post. I just confirm that your blood sugar level is ok? This type of thirst is associated with high blood sugar levels. While going through this process I had to monitor mine closely to ensure they stayed within 90 - 120. If you don't have a glucose monitor you can check it at your doctors office or one of CVS's minute clinics. Best of luck!
