Water Tolerance

[chad2rad 491]

I lived off gatorade zero.cos everything else just tastes to sweet

Tried the arctic freeze G2. It was a little sweet but better than most.

Interesting question. I would like to know why Water is no longer my beverage of choice.

My NUT told me that Water is heavier by itself than when mixed with something like crystal lite. Not sure how it effects the molecular weight, but that is one reason it is harder on the new stomach I was told. Also I hear it gets better as the stomach inflammation goes down.

I was sleeved on 8/02 and have not liked Water since then. I add about 3 oz of flavored Propel water to my 24 oz cup, add ice and filtered water. That is my go to drink. Has a bit of flavor but I can tolerate that so much better than plain water. I only drink Crystal Light if I crave it, it is normally way to sweet for me. Plain water sits in my stomach and gives my sleeve a lot of pressure. I try to drink hot flavored tea but my sleeve does not like it yet either.

I had discomfort when drinking for the first few weeks.; I would say at around the 1 month mark, it became easy again.

It does get easier, I'm 4 months out and can chug a lug Powerade zero like crazy, that is my drink of choice now, the blue one tastes just like cotton candy! When I was first sleeved the only thing I could drink was room temp Water (now it would make me puke) so hang in there cause it does get better, I promise!
