Can't drink my water!



Recommended Posts

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?

try mixing half Water and juice with no sugar added. grape helped me with getting my water down. apple is also a good choice. good luck it gets easier every day. i was sleeved on 12/11 water is no longer a challenge i couldnt say that when i was a week out.

sugar free Popsicles and chicken broth can help you with your Fluid intake for those first few days.

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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
