Hot Vs Cold Drinks

[ThisTimeIsIt 71]

I definitely have an easier time with warm or hot beverages than cold (surgery was on Friday) how long until I can stomach cold drinks again? Right now I feel like cold drinks quadruple the gas in my stomach!

yes, cold drinks will cramp your tummy big time. . .every one is different, so your tolerance to cold drinks will depend on you. . . i'm out 3 years, i definately can drink cold drinks, but man if i drink it on an empty tummy, look out, cramps and pain for about 10 - 15 minutes. . just progress slowly, and definately no gulping! sip sip sip your cold drinks and take time between sips. . . Good luck!

Everyone is different...Cold drinks were much easier for me to tolerate right after surgery. All my drinks had to have ice in them or I couldn't drink them. I still like cold drinks and I am almost a year out. I also enjoy drinking hot tea so both hot and cold are fine for me.

Take it slow and one day I am sure cold drinks will work for you again.

I'm a month out and find cold to be what I'm craving all the time. I was never a hot drink drinker though. I do agree with what was said before. Cold on an empty tummy does cause cramping and queasiness in me still. I don't usually drink anything when I wake up. I'll have my first drink of the day after Breakfast or a light snack.< /p>

I definitely liked warm drinks right after surgery. Cold drinks caused my stomach to cramp up. Anyways, I couldn't drink Hot Drinks like tea because it irritated my stomach. It did get better around 3 months post op. Keep sipping and walking and that will assist in healing.

I never really cramped up from cold drinks, but if I drank to much at one time, it felt like a ton of bricks hit my stomach & hard!!! So sip, sip, sip & slowly! I drank room temp. Water for a few days... now I can drink both hot & cold just sips though. NO straws & no carbonation! Good luck...
