Is it sufficient to drink water for sahoor?

Can we call it sahoor if onelimits oneself to drinking water only?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It seems that it can be called sahoor, if one cannot find food,
because of the hadeeth: "When oneof you breaks the fast, let him break
it with fresh dates, and if he cannot findany then with dry dates, and
if he cannot, then witha few sips of water." If a person does not have
any food available, or he has food but he does not wantto eat it so he
drinks water, then I hope that this will count as followingthe Sunnah.
