So most things are difficult for me to drink, I'm 4 weeks PO and drinking most things generally hurts more than satisfies :/ I sip at propel fitness water and it hurts. The one thing I've found easy to drink is iced sweet tea, but my mother is worried that it can dehydrate you? Idk I'm just getting frustrated with all this and keep questioning if this was a good idea with all the difficulty I've been having. But I mean I know it's only been a month.. Things get better right? I won't regret this decision for the rest of my life! Lol

I can't drink most any juice or plain Water. I have only had water with the powder propel zero favoring in it. I'm able to get all my water in that way though.

My concern with sweet tea would just be that you are starting off with empty calories? Keep trying stuff. You will find something that goes down. Good luck.

try drinking decaffeinated tea. That way it will not have a diuretic effect on you. As for drinking water , maybe add some lemon or crystal light.Try drinking things at different tempatures also. I had problems as well in the beginning I found out my sleeve only liked room tempature liquids. It will get better just do your best and keep trying.

Brew your own black decaf tea....then add an artificial sweetener....without caffeine it should not dehydrate you.....should you be having real sugar?

I am almost 10 weeks out and can't drink anything cold. I found room temp Gatorade g2 to work really well, hot tea with truvia and warm/hot water. It's weird drinking warm stuff in the summer but it is what it is, if your tea has caffeine, then you could very likely dehydrate yourself. Plus the real sugar can upset your tummy. At least my tummy doesn't care for it at all. Good luck and keep trying different things!
