Water is making me nauseous. WTH?!



Recommended Posts

The past few days, any time I drink Water, it makes me nauseous. I was sleeved on 12/8. I've been able to meet my Water goals until these few days. I can drink hot tea and Protein shakes just fine, it's only water that does it.

Any ideas? Will it get better - I've always been a huge water drinker, so this is pretty frustrating.

You could try Mio drops.

I can't do anything with artificial sweeteners - they make me sick. I'll try lemon tomorrow. I just thought it odd that plain Water would do that to me.

I loved plain, cold Water pre-surgery, but after a couple of weeks post surgery it stopped tasting good. It had a metallic taste. I tried it room temperature which was better. I finally tried drops. Mio wasn't bad. I tried Crystal Light. The grape was good. Ice tea now works but that is limited to one cup a day. Try the drops. I never would have liked them pre surgery but I do like some flavors now. Others went right into the trash!

I get minor nausea with Water. Some days it is worse than others. Try drinking it in the warm side.

@@ChronicJam The sleeve can be tricky at times. If you like coconut try drinking some coconut Water. It's a super hydrator.

I couldn't drink plain Water or use artificial sweeteners. They both upset my stomach. Also had a bit of lactose intolerance. I had to find Protein Shakes sweetened with stevia and I drank a lot of Lactaid, soy milk, diluted 100% fruit juice, regular Sports drinks, regular Vitamin Water, pedialyte and Decaf herbal teas. All of these issues resolved after about 4 months and I can tolerate anything now. Although I still dislike the taste of artificial sweeteners and prefer real sugar if I am drinking something sweetened.

I've been adding lemon and have gone back to sipping like right after surgery. So far, so good. It's gonna be hard for me to make my goal today, though! Thanks for asking! ????

Plain Water tasted so bad to me after surgery. It took several weeks before I could tolerate it again. People looked at me like I was crazy when I said that water tasted awful!

I am 4 months and Water is working better but still not easy. I miss it. Used to guzzle it. It does get better.

Water makes me nauseous if I drink it too fast. I was sleeves on 12/8/14 and didn't have trouble with the water until last week. If I slow down and sip really slow I am fine.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
