One week out. What I miss most may surprise you.

[itstime4me123 139]

A long gulp of ice cold Water. That's what I miss the most. Yes I can sip water, which tastes nothing to me like it did before the surgery, but it's not the same. Feel like I can't quite get my thirst quenched. Anyone else miss this?

Yeah, I felt that way too during the first couple weeks. At 3 months I have 0 problem with ice Water.

I missed it a lot. I used to start my day every day guzzling 16 ounces of Water after I brushed my teeth.

I can't quite drink 16 without taking a breathe like I used to but I can do about 12.

Give it time

Oh that's great to know. So I can look forward to bigger drinks?

[MzCoffee 23]

Yes - I actually get nauseated if I drink too quickly or take anything resembling a gulp. and I never feel really hydrated.

I miss drinking immediately afyer my meal. I used to enjoy a nice glass of Water after a meal. Ah well.

Not guzzling Water has been the most difficult. I thought it would be the chewing.

I'm in the same boat. I love super cold ice Water. I was drinking over 100 oz per day before surgury. Water tastes so different now it sucks! Ice water just makes me sick and I found out I don't enjoy cool water at all.

A few days ago I started to do detox water instead (fruit/veggie infused). The taste of the water now has really helped me. I hate the sugar free water additives.. they have such a nasty aftertaste to me.

Latest favorite is:

mango

pinneapple

cherry

ginger

thai basil

mint

Maybe try some this and see if it helps you?

I'm 3 weeks out today and I guzzled three big drinks of ice cold water this morning. Soon you'll put your sipping days behind you.

I definitely miss that too!!!!! Sipping water isn't the same as taking a nice big gulp :-/

I am 3 1/2 weeks out and I can drink Water really fast now. I was worried at first because I thought I didn't have proper restriction but liquids work differently than solids I have a lot of restriction with things like eggs and fish no restriction with water and broth.< br>You may find that it actually gets really easy to drink...each person is different.

This looks lovely!

I hate how heavy water feels now.

And I hate artificial sweeteners as well.

This looks perfect!

I was a huge Water gulper' and ironically that was my biggest concern!
I'm on Day 19 and starting to drink more!
