Before I was sleeved on 12-19-11, I loved water and would gulp it down. After I was sleeved, I hated just plain water. I did not like the taste and it hurt my stomach. I had to put something in it like Crystal Light. It was as if I needed something to buffer it because the water was too harsh. Who knew? But now I can drink just plain water. So don't give up. Drinking water will get better.

I agree and I thought that was so odd that I had to have Crystal light just to get water down. I just made four months out and it was at three months out when I discovered I could drink plain water again.
