Hurts when I drink water

[shrusara 13]

Had anyone experienced pain when they have Water... I'm 4 days post op and when I drink Water it hurts my stomach and I feel it going

Down slowly... but when I drink tea or Soup it

Doesn't hurt... is there something wrong...

My nurse/nutritionist said that this is due to the alkaline in the Water. She suggests adding lemon to change the pH or drinking Crystal Light until you can stomach it. Fyi, she is a bypass patient.

I have been having a little bit of trouble with the Water, too. I have been sipping Powerade Zero all day today, and it is going down much easier. (Also, since this is Day 2 post-op, I can add Protein powder to Clear liquids and that has given me a ton more energy...)

Yes! sleeved 9/19. Yesterday was first day I could drink Water without feeling like I had razor blades in my tummy. Drank alot of V8 diluted honest Kids juice g2. I can't consume artificial sweeteners so it's rough. Today was the first day I could drink a protien shake.

It could am so be the tempreture. I did better with room temperature and warmed fluids

I'm 6 months out and still have trouble when liquids are too cold. Try different temperatures.

Good luck

I agree with the temperature as well. Cold thin liquids cause an ache but cold blended shakes with Peanut Butter (thicker) are no problem.

Another point for the temperature. I can do warm or room temp liquid. I had to change to g2, tried tons and that's what worked for me. Everyone is different.
