Can't stand water!



Recommended Posts

I force myself to drink Water as much as I can but unfortunately I probably get only 30oz a day since I can't drink during or right after I eat I wait 30 minutes then by the time I do drink it feels and tastes awful. But I can drink juice, tea, or even coffee easily.

Have you tried putting flavoring in your Water like Mio or CrystalLite? I would definitely recommend against juice, since it is so high in sugar and you should avoid drinking your calories.

I am a few days post op and found lime C-light here in Mexico. It tastes really good, and it's only got 20 cal per pack.

I agree about the juice that's why I avoid it as much as possible but when I'm nauseous it's been a lifesaver. I never tried Mio or Crystallite but I'm willing to try. I'm curious how it tastes.

How about Powerade Zero? I drink those when I get tired of the Water flavors.

Is this something that is new after WLS or something you felt before? If it's a carryover from before, I would suggest pushing through it. I used to say I hated the taste of Water (Diet Coke addict), but I learned to love it over time when I gave up DC.

I use to love water...so I'm actually surprised. I try to chew on ice chips but I don't have time to always chew ice chips. For some reason when I drink Water it feels so heavy like I'm drinking cement.

I found that post-op, Water sat very heavy with me unless it was ICE cold, with ice literally floating it. I got a water bottle that keeps my ice cold all day long and i just drink from that.

Water just doesn't taste good or go down easily post op

Once you flavor it, it's much easily to drink. At least for a while. Eventually it returns to normal

I couldn't stand Water either, until about a month ago. My first four months post-op, I just couldn't drink plain water because it would make me nauseous every time. Luckily I could drink it with flavoring like Crystal Light, etc. I can drink it now, finally. But I sure was worried there for a bit that I was never going to be able to!

I drink mainly Water with no flavorings. It's becoming less palatable. And i have to have it room temp. I used to love cold Water but realized it doesn't sit well with me. It hurts and feels heavy. Room temp water goes down easier but now im feeling like it may be sitting heavy and i almost border on nauseous. I try to push through but it gets hard.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
