I have a hard time getting liquid in. Water does not taste good. I have been drinking unsweetened tea. Is that bad??

Not getting enough water/liquids in each day has & still is an issue for me too. I hate plain water. I've never been a water drinker. I have found Crystal Light & hot tea helps. I'm a year post op & I still drink protein shakes & they count as liquid. I probably only get in half of my daily liquid requirement. I never think about carrying water with me & I am still trying to develop this habit. It requires a lot of work to get in my daily liquids. I hope you are better about this than I am. I refuse to give up.

I am 4 days post op. I was told no Caffine, it is irritating to the new stomach, and is a diuretic. I was told no decaf either. Try some propel water or gatoraid, they both have sodium in them and are easier to get down. Our bodies have to add sodium to plain water to help digest it. Plain water is like a kick in the stomach to me. Good luck, most anything you can get in is a plus. Sugar free popcicles, sugar free jello, broth, less than 100 cal yogart.
