halima 0 Posted January 1, 2016 Hello all, I had my surgery on 12/20 and so far nothing is well. I can't eat all I do is suck on ice cubes. If I drink Water I end up vomiting. I know they say drink slowly but seems like I can't do that. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted January 1, 2016 Try sugar free-Popsicles, Water enhancers (like crystal light, Mio drops, etc.), Decaf tea, Herb infusions (like mint "tea"), clear broths/soup, etc. Try room temperature, try warm, try ice cold. Just keep trying and working at it. Plain Water was the hardest thing for me to drink I initially. It took a while for me to be able to drink it in significant amounts.
