frozengrapes 50 Posted October 19, 2016 I do not understand. I am 8 weeks post op. I have lost almost 30 lbs!!!! Before surgery I loved Water, I drank it all day, at least 640z. Now I hate it. I can not drink more than 80z or so. What is going on? I drink sugar free juice, tea, etc. but I can not get the water down. I just have no desire for it. Can anyone explain/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted October 19, 2016 Lots of people find their tastes change after surgery, but I don't think anyone really knows why. Don't worry too much, you don't need Water to be successful post-op. As long as you are getting your fluids in, it is all good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone explain/ I use to be able to drink it room temperature all the time now I only like it if it's really cold. I was advised a lot of ppl are don't have the taste buds water the first few weeks then have a better tolerance later on...

busybeebug 415 Posted October 19, 2016 Water hurts again when I drink it. It's frustrating. IT doesn't matter what temperature it is or if it has flavored additives or fruits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dobert 22 Posted October 19, 2016 I loved Water pre op. Now, it tastes like dirty socks. Cannot stomach any type except deja blu. You aren't alone. Try getting some mio and adding a little flavor. Or, get some flavored water. That's the only way I can do it. HW 427 SW 358 sleeved 10/12/16 I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.

GACaldwell 112 Posted October 20, 2016 My dislike for it after post op annoyed me but it went away in month 3! Keep at it and hopefully yours will go away too Sent from my SCH-I435 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
