Not able to Drink Water

[Look At The New Me 0]

I had my surgery on March 5, 2013. I have already been to the ER due to severe leg pain, which I was told the pain came from dehydration. I just can not stand drinking plain Water. I have tried Crystal Light and that stuff tastes horrible. Any suggestions????

Mio, Gatorade, Vitamin Water Zero, Clear broth, herbal tea... I had surgery almost 8 months ago and am only now tolerating plain water. Staying hydrated this early out needs to be a priority, even before getting your Protein in. You will soon be 2 weeks post op, if our post op diet was anything like most, you should be able to add all liquids in tomorrow including milk, Protein Shakes and strained Soup.< /p>

You have to get those liquids in. Even if it one sip at a time. Perhaps try crushed ice chips? I had those the first few days and it worked well for me.

Good luck to you.
