does water make you feel yucky?

[steelergirl 135]

When I drink Water it makes me feel queesy...I don't know why..makes my tummy feels weird..I haven't been getting my fluids in ..because of it. The only drink I desire now is hot tea with cream. I didn't even like tea before. I can like feel water in my stomach..I don't know..I would have lost double if I would be able to drink my water!!

This is very common - a lot of us have trouble with plain Water for awhile after surgery. You may have an easier time with water if you add a little Crystal Light or Mio or other flavoring to it - it changes the consistency of the water just a tiny bit and makes it go down easier. I hated artificial sweeteners, but I found just adding a little bit was enough to help.

I wonder why it is like this..so weird..I thought it was just me.

I am 4 months out and I have trouble with Water plain and flavored.. I still get pain.....

I had Water aversion twice during early recovery. I adjusted the Water temp and that helped the first time along with sips. The second time that didn't work and I added Sobe Lifewater for about a month! I'm 5 months post op and drinking room temp plain water again.

I also got queasy with Water for like 2 months after surgery. All I could drink was iced tea, green for Decaf but I was ok with black too. It also helped me if the water was ice cold, but for some I've heard the exact opposite, that only room temperature would do. I would love to know the science behind this! Seems very unnatural.

I am the same way tea goes down better than water. It seems like warm stuff goes better than cold!

Room temp or warm before cold for a few months, at least. Plain Water bothered me but flavor or fruit made it bearable. I drank very diluted tea (I'd make one cup of tea into a liter of tea-water) and had much better luck with that in the beginning.

You have to keep trying to find a solution. Dehydration is no fun and causes a host of unpleasant side effects.

Good luck,

I had a problem with Water too. It took about a month and a half after surgery to be able to drink it again without being nauseous. I did find that herbal tea worked well instead. I liked the celestial seasons cranberry apple flavor. Either warm or cold it went down with no problem.

I just discovered yesterday that if I add just a little apple juice to the Water it doesn't cause me any problems. I was in the same boat as you.

I also add just a splash of apple juice or my fave is diet cranberry grape. I am almost 4 months out and every once in a while try Water plain to see if I tolerate it yet but no such luck. I can do crystal light too but abot abhalf packet per bottle and all of my drinks have to be ice cold

I had no problem with Water until I got a stomach virus. Now I've been making Decaf tea with a little Splenda... Seems to go down much smoother.

I had that problem - try Propel Zero!
