Will my desire to drink water ever return?

Since my VSG, I have completely lost my desire to drink water! In order for me to get in enough fluid daily I drink Vitamin water, I seemed to have lost my taste for all but one flavor at that! I can not believe this, even apple juice which was all that appealed to me while in the hospital and for the first 2 weeks at home, no longer is tolerable. Has anyone else experienced a repulsion for plain water and if so did desire to drink water ever resume? Even after a workout and good sweat I still practically gag when I put water in my mouth.

i am on day 3 and anything other than ice cold water seems to make me feel sick once i swallow.... i had a few sips of decaf tea, and that wasnt as bad, but the crystal lite really made me feel sick. i am still having trouble with nausea, but am hoping that will pass soon!

Lan - check your grocery stores for the XOX broth - I found it at Albertson's here in Las Vegas - it's like buillon cubes you add to hot water - they have chicken and beef that I know of; I found it in both the soup isle and with the mexican foods. I know, too, that Sam's sells chicken paste in a large jar for like $3 and it is the same principal as bouillon.
