How to get my water in?

[happydaisy 48]

I sure do miss plain Water. I get nauseated when I drink it plain. I've tried different brands of water too. I dont understand how people can make their goal of 64 oz. Im 2mths PO. Someone said to get water without alkine. Any suggestions?

Sometimes you have to play around with the temperature. I'm 3 months PO. At times, I like it ice cold and other times at room temp. Just recently, I was able to add some flavor like Mio or crystal light. However, I don't add flavor too often b/c I prefer plain Water mostly.

I am not really able to tollerate Water either. When I can it has to be room temp, which if you had asked me to drink before I would've refused. I started out drinking low calorie gatorade and tollerated that very well. Now I'm drinking propel fitness water, and I like it a lot. I am even drinking iced tea now because I need my caffiene fix. I find I can drink tons more tea than water...I have no idea why. Also, the tea makes me pee more often. When I was just doing gatorade and water I was only going twice a day and my urine was very concentrated. Now its clear. Just something I thought worth mentioning.

I'm 2 months post-op. I find it very hard to drink Water. It just sits in my gut like a ton of bricks. But I can drink broth with no problem. I go through a lot of it and I'm able to get my 64 oz. in.

The weird part is I crave ice Water when drinking the Soup. I alternate between sips of broth and ice water.

Try Water with lemon or cucumber-- goes down nicely! Or for me anyways-- I drink a lot of tea as well-- hot, cold, different Tazo flavors! Good luck

I put Splenda in my Water ~ no flavoring just plain Splenda, water & crushed ice ~ Yum!

I'm a week out but have found that hot tea works better for me at this point. It sucks cause I loved water before surgery, I'm hoping I will get that back. But I'm able to get in my 64oz easily at this point with different flavors of hot tea.

I have to Water down poweraide zero, still working on getting in fluids and Protein. Nothing with ice no matter how bad I want it.

I have to tell y'all that good taste for Water does come back. To me, all water tasted like sucking metal until 5 months and then most water, even tap, starts to be enjoyable again. I have found desani flavor drops to taste the best followed up by propel powder. Mio and crystal light gave my throat issues when drinking it over and over again. Check out the pink lemonade and coconut/pineapple desani drop flavors.

Pre-op I was someone who only drank Water or tea. Post-op? Water is vile and I can't tolerate it. Now I drink flavored water and teas. I drink most of my 64 oz in tea. I got a 16 oz tervis tumbler (those things are awesome) and I drink 4 of them a day, problem solved.

I'm four weeks out on Wednesday and I have trouble getting all my Water in. flavored water seems better as does tea or broth. I just feel like I don't have enough hours in the day to get it all in with all the stopping and starting before and after meals. I got about 40 oz in today which was a good day!

Im living off gatorade and muscle milk ... The only thing that doesnt upset my sleeve ... Water makes me cramp up

Water has a high surface tension which means bad for sleeve. When you break the tension by mixing then sleeve likes
