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/

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 :)

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...

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.

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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
