I love water -- again!

Whew!

I really thought I would have to drink sweet stuff for the rest of my life as after surgery, Water tasted simply, awful.

Now, I'm 3 weeks out and water is now a beautiful thing again.

For me, it was just a matter of waiting it out a bit and I hope this is all it takes for anyone.

Cheers!

Just goes to show how different everyones body is. Water is tasting good to me again, I hate the sweet water now. I am 9 days out and blessed. Everything is coming along really good. The doc did a great job, loosing weight, not sick, loosing appetite after I eat/drink, and today feeling really really stuffed after 6oz of cream soup. It made so even pizza on tv commercial did not look good after it has been driving me nuts for 4.5 weeks, since preop diet. I wish everyone would go so well. I almost feel guilty. Maybe mines coming..

I am 6 weeks out and Water is finally starting to be tolerable to. I can do the sugarfree powerade's like they are nothing, but plain water has been horrible till just a couple of days ago. It tasted bad and felt like it got stuck right before it entered my stomach. Really strange, and I liked water pre surgery.

It's great to hear from you all!

I've found something that I love. It's made by Pepsi and it's called "Aquafina plus+ Vitamins 10 Cal". First, it is a great low calorie substitute for Water. Second it has 120% of the Vitamin C and Vitamin B12 we need everyday.

Here, it's not that easy to find. I get mine from the local gas station!

Cheers to everyone!

Congrats! on your surgery and your great recovery!

Please don't feel guilty :001_tongue: I think it's terrific that you have (and hopefully, everyone has) these small wins to keep us going. Concentrating on the positive is just so very important.

I'm really lucky that I can drink a lot of liquids so I'm not dehydrated, at all. First, it kind of scared me but now I'm grateful for it. Liquids don't fill me up. But, mushy stuff? I can't eat more than 4 oz. in 1/2 an hour. Whew! Now I know it's working!

Keep on going! You're doing great!

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones too... I haven't stopped loving water! I drank it like CRAZY before surgery and now I still love it (nice and cold with ice cubes!) and I sip it all day long!:001_tongue:
