Anyone else having or had trouble with drinking Water at 5 weeks post op?

I've been super lucky with what I can eat. I can eat most things now just not much of it and chew it up real good. Even had some diet soft drink and cordial. But water always makes me nautous. I just had a couple of mouthfuls 20 min apart to have medicine, this made me dry reach and run for the bucket. I've never been sick, this is the closest I've come and I don't like it :-(

Drink flavored Water? That'll work' date=' right? Easy.[/quote']

What sort of flavoured Water could I have? Tried lemon and tried lime. The supermarket ones have too much sugar. Any ideas?

Crystal light has like zero sugar,right? Mio too. You could drink tea with honey.

If this is happening suddenly at 5 weeks you want to discuss with your surgeon to make sure you are okay.

Try different Water temperatures, ice cold worked best for me. Others preferred warm Water or room temperature.

When it comes to flavor, you can try slicing fresh fruit and adding a little to the water (change the water every few hours).

My dr also let me drink Gatorade early on - but check with yours - not all allow it that early.

Hope you feel better!!

Propel Water taste great to...I never have been able to drink Water but Crystal Light and Propel makes it easier

Is propel water and crystal light available in Australia, does anyone know? Just I've never heard of it. I think I really want to try them.

Also need to try the fruit in water.

I'm not as sick any more think it was a bug but still struggle with water

      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.
