Hello... I am two weeks post op and I am having trouble getting my water in... mainly because when I drink water (cold or room temp), I get a strange, painful cramp before the water goes through. But, when I drink tea, I have no issues at all. Has anyone else experienced this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes' be sure to drink decaf. Crystal light or sugar free koolaid type drinks work really well too!

Really??? I used Propel just now and you are right... no cramp. Would you happen to know what causes the cramps with just plain water. Thanks so much.

I'm not sure about this, but it could be that your water is too "hard." Maybe there is a lot of fluoride or chlorine in your tap and your tummy doesn't like it? You could try bottled water and see if you have the same issue. I like smartwater because they beef it up with electrolytes.

Ive found that the only water that tastes good post op is natural spring water. Ozarka and clear mountain are my favorites.

I only like smart water or fiji water

Ok... Thanks for the pointers. I have been trying to drink the liter bottles of Ozarka to keep count. I will try the Smart Water and Crystal Light packets.

I had this same issue--I could drink watered down juices, flavored water, etc with no issues--but plain water--any temp--killed me!! Mine did go away--I'm 9 weeks out and all I drink now is regular water with no trouble or pain
