ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted September 16, 2012 but i cant get enough Water, and if i take to big of sip it hurts. newgrandmother its great that you want to and can drink a lot of Water with no immediate problems - but per your post - don't take big sips cuz your tummy then hurts talk to your NUT/Dr. - see when they officially say its ok to drink quicker/gulp whatever - don't hurry though - no rush - Dr/NUT will probably tell you to slow down, take it easy - just listen to them good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RainyGirl 10 Posted September 16, 2012 i jsut want Water cold water I was exactly the same way. Best thing I found was one of those ice shavers or snocone makers. I can sit and eat a huge bowl of shaved ice like it was ice cream... Water itself makes me instantly sick but the ice is so cold and refreshing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doxieville 799 Posted September 16, 2012 It is really hard to strectch your new tummy. You have to overfill it constantly for months and really work at abusing it. Have you tried popsicals? They really helped my thirst. Breyers makes the best SF and low carb ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robynluevano 85 Posted September 16, 2012 Wow your doctor considers cream of wheat a liquid? So interesting how each doctor is so different. I'm not being snarky, or trying to sound rude at all, I am just surprised!! Robyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
