It's called Water intolerance. It's common but usually only temporary. You over come it by continuing to drink it. Eventually it will go away. Take sips all day long and increase the amount you sip with time.

Soup recipes are relatively easy. I'm sure you can whip up multiple ones. Just focus on broth, meat and non-starchy vegetables.

Thankyou I'll persist with the Water, I'm just not creative in the kitchen when it comes to making Soups

I am not either, that is why I buy pre made soups most of the time. Just read labels and make sure whatever you choose is appropriate for your phase.

I liked the ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil soups that my surgeon allowed even on the clear phase.

Some people get won ton or egg drop Soup from a Chinese restaurant or similar and just strain out the won tons.

You can also get canned or prepared soups at the grocery store or deli.

Bone broth is high in Protein.

Please try to get in more. Dehydration is no joke.

I also had surgery on Apr 4 and came home the 6th. Water is a struggle. But I feel like it's getting better with time.

Have you tried room temperature Water? Water is the only thing I have temperature issues with and have found I can only drink it room temperature. If it's cold at all, it makes my stomach feel "crampy".

Water is also tough for me because I used to down it. I drink a little Water now, but honestly I am more successful with G2 and Diet iced tea/Lemonade (which counts as water). I hope my love for water returns. It doesn't hurt to drink anymore, but for some reason I have just lost interest in it.

I am about 1 month out.

Try room temp and add lemon slices

I still have this issue with water so I am taking sips all the time but it is getting better though everyday

My favorite soup is Lentil soup, it is loaded with Protein
