Just a quick question. Does anyone get nausea after drinking Water? I'm thirsty & have ALWAYS liked to drink water but now whenever I drink it it's like when I use to drink water first thing in the am on an empty stomach for me it was never a good feeling.

Water is like a liquid brick sometimes. Have to tried to add crystal light or a squish of lemon to it. Something about adding something to it makes it easier to swallow. I can only do water if its ice cold and with a straw. Other than that its G2 and Vitamin water.

How far out are you surgery wise? In my first 2 months I vomited every single time I tried to drink plain Water, and like you I've always loved it. Now that I'm a little farther out it's not as much of a problem. It takes a little while, but eventually your water nausea will go away.

It gets easier. At first, I was using Crystal Light all the time( fortunately Crystal Light started tasting different too - most of the time I couldn't handle the sweetness of it & tea with lemon or peach used to be my absolute favorite, but now my taste buds hate tea lol) now I find I can drink plain Water without any issues, no matter the temperature. Keep in mind everyone is different though, I have been extremely fortunate with my sleeve and have been able to tolerate everything I have tried so far including skim milk. Although, water did and sometimes still does sit in me like a brick. Only takes a few minutes to pass. I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow & am back to drinking water almost normal (except I can't gulp like I used to), just try to do anything to get the liquids in as almost nothing is worse than feeling dehydrated (my trip to the ER my second week out was SO NOT FUN) I hope y'all start easing your ways with water soon! Good luck!

I hadn't drank Water by itself in like two years before surgery, all I had drank was diet soda or diet iced tea. The first week or two after surgery I got heartburn from water, now though as long as its ice cold I love it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
