Plain Ice Cold Water Sounds So Good But.....



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 3/6/12 and I want nothing more than to be able drink some plain ice cold Water. However, every time I try to drink plain water, it makes me very nauseous regardless of how small of sips I take. I don't have problems with any other liquids such as gatorade or Protein Shakes. The temperature of the water doesn't seem to be the problem either because any temperature of water will make me feel sick.

So I am just wondering, has anyone else had nausea problems with plain unflavored water after surgery? And if so, how long was it before you could drink water without a problem?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

The PH of your stomach has changed after surgery. It's very common....this is why people have issues with plain Water and need to add "something" like Crystal Light or tea or what not so that they can stand it.

It might change in time or it might not.

Try drinking "Dasani" (misspelled I know) water! for some reason this particular brand goes down better with less upset tummy.

I noticed after surgery I couldn't handle plain Water either. I've been using propel.

At seven weeks out I'm still the same way.

I had this problem also but mine has gotten better with time. I do favor unsweetened tea more than anything now because it feels the best. :) but you just have to find what works best with you.

Another thing that I have a problem with is dairy. I can't have any of it anymore. So everyone kind of has ro experiment to see how your stomach reacts.

Yep, using Propel too. I always loved plain Water and always got my 64+ ounces in before surgery. Will have to try the Dansani too.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
