2+ months post-op. Am concerned this is not going to change. Can mix SF powder and am ok. Just wondered if anyone had this issue and if it went away?

I am 7 months Tuesday and still have this issue. Its either smart water, decaf coffee, or propel zero for me.

Water tastes odd to me now so I use mio drops every day.

I'm 11 months out tomorrow. I had trouble with water from day 1! My surgeon said to me that first day to have cordial in the water as it will help. In saying that since month 6 I have been fine with plain water. But I still have to have ice in all cold drinks. I just can't have cold out of the fridge temp drinks, they have to be icy!!!

Almost seven months out and I still have a problem with plain Water. I get nauseated, bloated and feel very constricted.

I love to drink the new freezes at Taco Bell. They don't upset my stomach at all. I know it's not water but it's a little treat for me once in a while.

I can only drink plain Water if its really cold too - I've been having crystal light etc in my water daily since coming out of the hospital. I know its not ideal, but I figure that its better than struggling to take in the Fluid...

I was dehydrated yesterday and the day before as I had been ill - boy that was nasty! get fluid in any way you can is my advice.

I get nauseated from plain water too. I loved water before so it bums me out. I've added the crystal light, kool aid drops and it's helped. It also helps to have something on my stomach. I know we have to wait for 45 min to 1 hour after eating to start drinking. But if my stomach is empty and I'm trying to drink, I will eat a piece if cheese and it helps. Empty stomach + water = misery.

Who told u to wait 45 mins-1hr??? I was told and do 30mins either side!!!

But on the water side of things my surgeon said get ur fluids in how ever u can

I'm the same - 30 mins either side -that's what I've been following for the past 18 months anyway

My Center says 30 before and 45 after. I cheat a bit. Sometimes I take small sips with meals. If I get busy at work I won't drink for 2 hours after. I'm finally able to take bigger drinks. I think fluid goals are the hardest to reach.
