Hi. I am three weeks postop from sleeve surgery I have no problem drinking broth and drinking coffee. My problem is drinking Water. Every time I drink water it seems to upset my stomach and I seem to get sick. Does anyone else have these issues? If so what do you drink?

Could it be the temperature? Maybe it's the cold that is bothering you since the drinks you can tolerate (which are primarily water) are warm?

@@Kmccusker127 do you add flavours to your Water? I have crystal light, apple juice, g2 gatorade makes a difference for me

You can try smart Water, when I first had surgery I was drinking Fiji water but it was too dense. Smart water seems to go down smooth with no stomach upset

I'm 3 days from sleeve surgery and am having tons of trouble drinking Water. I just spent 45 minutes getting 2oz of water mixed with Vitamin water zero down and am feeling nauseous,burpy, and uncomfortable. Got 4oz of a to thick Protein shake in about an hour with very little problem. I'm just home from hospital this afternoon so I figure I have a little cushion for today because I can't face drinking any more water today. Should I try herbal tea tomorrow?

Thank you so much. I am going to try Crystal Light tomorrow. coffee And tea don't seem to be a problem for me it's just the Water that seems to bother my stomach.

I have the same problem with Water. I put flavoring packs in my water.

Try smart Water.

I heard someone using Gerber baby Water. Something to do with the lack of added minerals, etc. makes it soothing on the stomach. might be worth a try.

It's very weird but many of us report difficulty drinking Water, something to do with the ph. The solution is to add flavor. Crystal lite, ice tea, etc. It will get easier in a couple of months

I couldn't drink cold water for a few days after surgery. Try room temp, or hot tea to hydrate you.

This is very common. I was sleeved two years ago and still find plain water uncomfortable. Crystal Light for me. Good luck!

I had the same problem... I got nursery water or Gerber pure water and it helped my first week
