Getting nauseous from water...

[Darla5060 68]

Hi there! I'm 19 months out from surgery and doing very well in all aspects of post-surgical life except for one thing - Water makes me slightly nauseous. Does anyone else deal with this? I've tried it flavored, room temperature, ice cold - it doesn't seem to matter much (although warm to Hot drinks are fine). It's not anything I can't handle, and I still get most of my Water in, but it's odd. I can't remember if it used to happen when I took my ppi, and I'm wondering if I should start my ppi up again...any advice?

Thanks!!

I had this problem for the first year, maybe a little longer. A lot of people seem to have this issue for a while after surgery, but from what I have read it usually goes away. I drink plain Water just fine now. Seems odd that this would happen so far out. Did you have problems drinking it right after surgery?

Yep, I too cannot stomach plain Water. At first I needed my liquid to be room temperature to cool but not cold - it would make me nauseous. Now I can have it cold but it has to have some type of flavoring. I absolutely love Diet Snapple Green Tea. That is my number one go to drink now. Plain water feels too "heavy" to me. Go figure!

Hi sarsar,

I didn't have any problems drinking right after surgery...I wish I had paid more attention, but I think this started when I stopped taking my ppi about six months ago. But I'm not sure! I should probably check with my doc, but I also may start taking my ppi again and see if that clears it up. Thanks for your help!!

Thank you, Suejersey! I'm going to try Snapple green tea to see how that is. It's very weird!

I am closing in on 3 years post op and still have a hard time with just plain Water. But I would try your PPI again. I keep trying to quit taking mine, and everything damn time I do, within about a week I notice a lot more nausea, especially in the mornings after I have taken my Vitamins. I think it is better to take it and get your fluids in than to become dehydrated.

Thank you, supersweetums! I did start taking it again, and it seems to be already helping.
