Difficulty with water?

[meford 15]

It seems to be more painful to drink Water than anything else. I found that it doesn't really have anything to do with the temp. Seems weird and can't figure out why this could be.

sipping or drinking. If I forget and take a big drink, I'll be wishing that i didn't, but If I sip I'm fine. Also don't drink and eat at the same time.

You are so not the only one. I absolutely cannot drink or sip Water or any other really thin liquid (like Powerade etc). Milk on the other hand goes down really easily! It's so weird! I'm living off milk at the moment. It's the only way I can get my liquids in!

I'm 5 weeks out by the way.

Try adding some apple juice or diet cordial to the Water. This has worked for me.

Not sure if your doctors office told you about Water like mine did. They said water had surface tension like rain drops they kind stick to a surface some people that happens on the top of there stomach. It is very normal and common. They say add anything to your water and that will break the tension such ad a lemon or mio or anything. It surprises me so many drs office don't hit on this point more.
