I've spent a few hours today hunting on the net for others who are like me.......never thirsty!
I'm 2 weeks post op so am forcing myself to drink as i've been told i need to.....but i must admit it makes me feel waterlogged and sick.
I've always been like this, it's not a new thing, even as a child i remember my mum telling me i never drank......i've never been one for cups of tea or coffee and if i did have the odd one i'd rarely finish it....never been a fan of fizzy drinks and if i ever opened a can of coke or the like, 80% of it was thrown out.
I never "felt" dehydrated.....my blood tests pre op showed i had good kidney function.....i've never had headaches or felt ill. I've always been astounded at how much fluid others seemed to put away, even when on diets i always lost weight fine.....rarely had more than 1 500ml bottle of water a day.
Don't know why i'm actually posting about this? maybe just to see if there's anyone else out there like this! my doctor says as long as i feel fine and don't have dark urine then my body is hydrated.....but i hear so much about drinking a whole river a day that i do feel a bit odd! why on earth do some people not seem to need/want fluid, any ideas? or just a random fact of life!
