Water

Does drinking Water make anybody else sick? It makes me sick to my stomach. Before surgery, I could drink water all day, now I can't even get in 4 oz. Is this normal? Please advise. Thanks!

Before surgery, Water was my drink of choice. After surgery, it affected me the same as it does you. After a month or so, though, water tasted great again. Hang in there.

Yup, I went from drinking nothing but Water and tea to drinking nothing but flavored waters and tea.

Yep, sleeved 12/20, still can't get Water down, it just makes me uncomfortable and hurts my stomach. Even flavored water & gatorade. I've been living on diet cranberry, its all I've found that doesn't cause that problem. Also I can handle Sf popsicles.

I'm glad to know I'm not alone. I hate I can't drink Water. I know that I need it. I live off of sugar free Popsicles as well!!! That is crazy. I couldn't stand those things before my surgery, 12/21. Now I can't live without them.

I am 10 weeks out and can still only do tiny amonuts of plain Water. Less than a bottle and I crave it so much. I have just this past week been able to tolerate crystal light in my water. Othwrwise I add a splash of diet cranberry or applejuice and that is the only way I have been able to stay hydrated.

Hahahahaha yes they are.

Sooo... A tip for water... I read today that apparently the make up of Water causes it to sort if "sit" on top of our sleeve and not just go through smoothly like other liquids, which is why we can have pain and nausea from it. For some people, mio or crystal light break it up enough to make it work, but that didn't happen for me. However today I tried a slice of real lemon in my Water bottle.... I got all the juice of out one slice. I am tolerating this amazing compared to regular water....will be doing this until real eater doesn't bother me anymore! Hooray!

Guys what is MIO?? I've been seeing it mentioned a lot lately, and curious as to what it is and where you get it from.

[alley-gator 96]

You can get mio from any grocery store. It's little bottles of liquid Water flavoring. You van squeeze a little in or a lot depending on your taste. Before surgery I loved strawberry watermelon. Post surgery it doesnt sit well.

I was sleeved on November 19 and all I wanted was cranberry juice for the first couple of days..When I had some Water I could taste every mineral in that water. But eventully I could drink it again..
