Drinking Problems?

I am a week post op today. I am having issues drinking any fluids. They make me sick almost instantly. Even water has an adverse effect. Obviously starting to feel a bit weak from my body putting out more then I am consuming. Looking for any suggestions on drinks, protein, popsicles that may have worked for you. Thanks all.

I found that I couldn't drink water at all. I have to add something anything to it. The water drops (mio, koolais, dasani) have a silicone in it and makes it easier on your tummy, I loved hot/warm tea. Keep all your fluids room temp or really cold and find out what your tummy likes. You must get fluids in you and that is the most important thing right now.

Chicken broth and sugar free gatorade are two things to consider.

Are you making sure to take only very tiny sips? Too much will make you nauseous. Also, try drinking your liquids hot or at room temperature, that helps as well.
