I've seen it a million times here and I'm experiencing it, I'm just wanting to know for those of you that Water Made feel sick, when did it stop? I'm such a water drinker and so sick of crystal light and such.

I agree! I always drank Water and now it feels "heavy" to me, without knowing a better way to describe it. Just two days ago I got Ocean Spray Cranberry-Pomegranate single serving pouches that mix with water similar to crystal lite, but it doesn't taste as strong as crystal lite. Hope that might help you. Maybe after 3-4 months we can go back to drinking plain water!

I really struggle to get my Water in because of this. I usually put 1/2 cup of apple juice in a glass and then add 12-14 ounces of water. It's only about 50 calories and is so worth it to actually be able to get water down. I have found that crystal light and any other artificial sweetener drinks make me sick with the sleeve, even at over 5 months out. I know everyone says to watch out for juice because of the sugar, but it's only 50 calories and it is a whole lot healthier for you to get a little sugar than not being able to drink at all and getting dehydrated. I used to be a big water drinker before surgery, over 100 ounces a day... Now I struggle to get 30!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
