Two weeks post op and I'm having no problem drinking Water, and find myself still drinking it fast with no problem. Is that a problem? Still following pre/during/post meals and Snacks, but after waiting so long to drink after a meal I get soooo thirsty I can help it!!

I wish! I'm struggling with fluid intake because I'm not thirsty.

I envy you. I can't seem to drink anything. It all taste like poop. If your not having any issues I say go for it, but I would wait a bit after you eat

I'm the same way. Only 6 days post op and I am so thirsty and really taking fluids quickly. No problems so far. I'm sure I'll struggle with the 30 min rule once I graduate to purees.

Thanks all. Guess I'm just worried I'm doing too much too fast but I think my body would let me know if that's bad?

Water is the easiest to get down (for obvious reasons) but even a zero Vitamin water is harder than just plain old water.

I am 9 days post op and have no problems with any fluids. I can also drink Water fast and in large amounts. broth, tea, Protein drinks, they all go down easily.

Lucky you... 3 months post op and I still have to drink Water quite gingerly. Love the taste. Love it ice cold but it seems like my stomach shuts down after sip 4. If I try to sneak in 1 more... i get very nauseated and I won't drink for awhile and when I do again it's very carefully.

I would love to drink "plain old water". I can't, it gets hung up in my throat. I'm getting away with propel water. I've done Gatorade g2, Powerade Zero, vitamin water zero and something else that I don't recall. Water though kicks my butt.

Sleeved on 9/5- any liquids are a challenge. Although I think it's getting better each day. I'm really waiting and longing for a normal small meal and a glass of sweet Water soon:-(

LOL I just posted almost the same thing a few minutes ago. I am almost two weeks out and was worried that I was drinking too much and stretching my sleeve. All I want is ice Water. I push myself to do the Protein shakes but I like the broth. A little sip of ice water isn't cutting it for me. I need a few sips/swallows. I am thirsty!

There is a protein water that I have tried that is okay. yucky after taste, but mixed with ice I can get one down over the period of two hours out in the heat like sitting at my kid's games. The 20 grams of protein is worth a little yucky after taste.

Everything I have tried had a horrific after taste including water:-(
