I had an issue with cold Water. It was like my sleeve tenses up and limits the amount of water. However, I could drink a room temperature fine.

If nothing else cold or hot was giving you an issue, maybe it is more of a mindset thing. Are you a person that usually liked water? If not, you may have to put flavoring to the water.

I ate a lot of things at room temperature because too cold would not go down and too hot would hurt too.

Hot / warm Water is MUCH easier for me. A bottle of cold water takes me forever but tea is a breeze

Me too - for several weeks I had to put some hot into my glass of Water to make it a bit tepid. Cold water gave me quite a pain, even room temperature - but like you, it was fine in a Smoothie!

Thankfully, now that has passed...

Cold Water makes me sick. I want to vomit it back up once it goes down. It's the only thing I've had a real issue with so far.

Yes i had my surgery in sept and i still cant drink cold Water, it has to be warm with no trace of coldness at all. I let the hot water run and get it just before it gets hot, thats the only way i can keep it down

I talk to my doctor and she says it's the acidity in the Water and that I need to drink alkaline water so when I started to drink alkaline water I really can feel the difference

YES! I'm over a year out and I still have a little trouble with ice cold Water. It took me around 8 months to be able to stomach plain water - I used crystal light in room temp water, hot tea and Decaf coffee up until that point.

I still don’t like cold plain Water since surgery. Hot tea works though!

It's to do with the surface tension of the plain Water. Adding a little cordial should help. I still have trouble with water nausea 4 years post op.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
