Have you tried different temperatures? I couldn't tolerate cold Water but I could take small sips of warm Decaf tea.

Also try popcicles. . I was the same way with my Protein shakes, could not get them down . The smell and taste made me sick. I was told just to get what ever liquids I could. Popcicles was it for me.. finally I was able to drink different things. I'm 8 weeks out now and just now getting all my Water in. My Protein is easy now.

Good luck

What kind of popsicles? Does it matter?

And temperatures don't really bother me it's mostly taste and smells

If it's bad it just doesn't go down.. but its hard then I get SOOOOOOOO thirsty!! Ugh

I had surgery on 11/17 too, and it's hard to get in Protein for sure, but don't let yourself get dehydrated. At least try to get in all of your fluids. I've had good luck with warm broth and sugar free Popsicles

My liquid goal is 64 oz. I could include Water, Decaf tea, yogurt, Meal Replacement shakes/pudding, sugar free pudding and sf popcycles. This new after surgery working toward liquid goals first then worry about Protein.

Oh I didn't drink that much a few days out of surgery. You do need to try and to at least get 20 oz a day. One oz at a time. Try 1 oz every fifteen minutes.
