Water Makes Me Sick

[misstiffsue 62]

Just in the last few days I have found that plain Water makes me feel sick. I am 4 weeks out and up until this point I haven't had this problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm 2 months out, and I still can't drink a lot of plain Water, without feeling nauseous, especially early in the morning. What's weird is that I don't have any problems drinking CL or Powerade Zero during my early workouts.

Plain Water made me sick until 8 or 9 months out. After that I could drink it again and now it's totally normal and I drink a lot of it. This was really hard for me bc before surgery I drank a lot of water and I loved it, I was worried that I would never be able to drink it plain again. Thankfully that was not the case for me and I love water again!

I am almost 2 years out. I still have some days that any cold drinks do not sit well with me. On those days i stick to room temp Water, coffee and tea.

It appears this is a pH problem. Adding CL or other additives seems to change the pH enough that it doesn't have the same effect. Very common to have trouble with plain Water.< /p>

i am only now able to drink Water but it has to be "just right"..... i drink Vitamin water zero - sometimes mixed up or watered down. i was sleeved 7-24-12 (major complications). temperature matters, too. keep trying ----it will suddenly be ok. its a waiting game. just stay hydrated.

I didn't like plain Water right after surgery. I really liked the Sobe Zero drinks or Propel Zero. I'm more than a year out now, and I can once again drink plain Water. It took several months though.

I agree with an earlier poster -- try drinking it at various temperatures. It may be the temp that is impacting you.

Unless it is ice ice ice cold it makes me nauseous too, especially having to sip it. Room temperature Water literally makes me gag. So weird.
