I am 6 days post op, I am dying fir water but can't tolerate ... How long before I can tolerate water?

I am also six days post op and sips of plain water make me heave,but I can sip water with Crystal Light just fine.

I couldn't drink cold Water at all the first 10 days or so. It had to be room temp and with some sort of flavoring, either Crystal Light or Ocean Spray.

Are you drinking it cold?

I had my surgery oct 18 and yesterday I could tolerate water just fine for the first time after having my surgery...not sure why all of a sudden but I sure am glad to be able to drink water again

Soon just wait, Be patient.

I am the opposite. I can get water in faster than crystal light. I also tried adding the unflavored injury Protein to crystal lite and I couldn't drink that, yuck! So I am getting no protein and only about half of my water in so far. I am six days out. I see my dr Wednesday hopefully I will be able to start the chocolate flavored shakes.

Was drinking room temperature water. Crystal light is too sweet. Can tolerate coffee with sugar free creamer, ice pops (even though they taste horrible and clear broth. Miss water. Prior to surgery I drank 64+ ounces of water a day

Maybe when adding crystal lite just add a little nor the whole package because sometimes it is to sweet.

I agree with lil lee. Or maybe try Crystal lite PURE, or a few drops of Mio or other flavored water enhancer. What about G2, either alone or mixed with water?

I will be 5 weeks post op on Wednesday, and I still cannot tolerate plain water. I mix Propel Zero with my water.
