water doesn't get down well.....

[johan22 0]

it seems i don't like Water anymore.... i'm almost always thirsty and i can't get the correct amount of water down,only a few sips and then it hurts until the air gets out.

the same does not apply to tee. i can drink way much more tee,but i would really like to drink plain water.

does this go away any time soon? (i'm a week out)

I felt like that for the first week or two and now Water is fine. I did tea/water 50/50 for a while.

Water doesn't make me ill, but at six weeks out it just doesn't sit well once it's in there. To me it feels "hard" and like it just sits there... I can only take a couple of pulls of a bottle, then have to wait a few minutes before I can do it again.

With something in it though, it's fine. Propel, coffee, tea, any kind of powdered mix... then it's great. I can chug back 5-6 swigs and can do it again quickly, and it feels like it just runs right on through instead of sitting there feeling rough.

I think I read once somewhere where somebody explained that it's a Ph thing, and something about the Water sitting on top of the stomach acid, or something like that, but I don't remember exactly and haven't been able to locate the post where I read it.

Try switching to Gatorade. If you are not drinking enough Water you should be drinking Gatorade anyway for the electrolytes. I was having the same problem. Started getting dehydrated, went to hospital and got a liter of saline. Made me feel much better. While there the doctor stated it is important to drink Gatorade/Pediolite for the electrolytes if your not getting in enough water. I found the red Gatorade to go down easily. It is 6:30AM I have been up for an hour and have downed 1/2, 32oz bottle already. If you are staying thirsty, watch out for other signs of dehydration. Be careful to not let it go to far. Be on the safe side and spend an hour or two getting some saline IV. Hang in there it does get better my friend.

As long as the tea is decaff it's ok, but i was like you, didn't like water at all in the beginning, couldn't get enough fluids down and would have loved to gulp a great big cold glass of plain water. . . but that wasn't going to happen, so instead i drank everything else for then . . . i'm about 10 weeks out now and can drink my 77 oz of plain water . . . not gulping mind you , but it goes down without a problem. . . hang in there it does get better . . . :thumbup1:

Loser, wow man, your doing excellently on your diet! Look how much you've lost! Keep up the fantastic work. . . my weight loss has slowed down to a screeching halt. . . but that is ok, I know i'm not eating 1/2 has much as i used to and i'm doing what i should be doing. . . so whatever. . . .it'll go eventually. . . . godspeed to you!
