It isn't bad it doesn't matter what the temp is. I couldn't tolerate ice Water, it felt like daggers in my stomach.

I had heard about cold water/drinks hurting your stomach, but I've never had an issue. I've always preferred my Water ice-cold - I drink way more when I have ice. My big YETI cup has been my constant companion since surgery! My problem is wanting to chug it sometimes - I have to stop myself! LOL

pre-op I LOVED ice cold Water. Post-op all I wanted was room temp. Once I hit 4 months post op I started craving cold water again.

I'm not sure if you're pre or post op. Post-op for one month since I was healing, I liked warm broth because it soothed my stomach. After I healed (week 6 when I felt normal) I was back to loving my super cold drinks.

I'm 2 weeks out as of today and love my ice cold Water with a straw. Never had an issue.

I love to add the sugar free single packets so I don't get bored with just plain water. I have every flavor that Hawaiian Punch makes and some Crystal Lights. They are so good. And for a treat, I get the Minute Made Light Lemonade (in the soda isle) it's not carbonated, I add the Hawaiian Punch Lemon berry Squeeze 1/2 a packet. and it is SO GOOD. (that's my soda fix).

      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.
