I was expecting all the problems getting my protein shakes down and meeting protein goals but had no idea how hard drinking water (or herbal tea, vitamin water, etc) would be. Even the tinest sip gave me nausea. This has been much more challenging than the shakes and protein. Today is better but wonder if I'll make it even close to 64 oz of water. I hope I can because I am so THIRSTY. Even though I thought I had prepared mentally for everything and even heard water would be a challenge but just didn't understand. I just hope eventually I can drink water more like a normal person!!

I'm almost 4 months post-op and iced tea that is super ice cold has been my best friend because Water still gives me nausea. So that's amazing you can drink water already! Good luck with your journey!

I was having issues with Water, my surgery was 12/30 and I have found warm tea to go down better or diluted apple juice, just making it work as best I can at this point

I'm a week post op. Hot tea and crystal light have been my friend. Still can't stand the thought of Water. I am able to get my Protein drink down, but not hitting my 64 oz.

Yes I was so surprised when I had a hard time with Water because I always loved water and now I have to flavor it to get it down and sip thru a straw. It gets easier I'm almost 3 months out

I was told not to use straws because they add air to the drunk

Hi! I'm 3 days post op. Worried about my Fluid intake because I only got in 22 oz so far each day. Water makes me feel sick. I get full after 3 sips of anything. My doc only wants me to do water, broth, SF popsicles and SF Jello and plain herbal tea.

I am honestly not feeling very happy right now. Heard I'm not supposed to feel hungry but I'm so hungry and my mind is going off thinking about all the food I can't have anymore.

Don't know what to do! Can anyone offer some support? I'd appreciate it.

To all that responded I actually meant the word water to represent any liquids that help me reach my fluid goal. I've tried herbal tea, vitamin water and plain water. Today was the first day I had success getting any of this down. The weird thing is that even though I'm not digging the taste of all these flavored beverages they seem to agree more with my sleeve. I do actually feel constantly full from all the water and the attempts to get my protein in. But I still have head hunger andd feel like I could eat real food (though I have no intention of trying).

I know what you mean, I was Sleeved on Dec 7 and still having trouble with taking my Vitamins and protein intake.

I'm not going to stress over it.
