I force myself to drink Water as much as I can but unfortunately I probably get only 30oz a day since I can't drink during or right after I eat I wait 30 minutes then by the time I do drink it feels and tastes awful. But I can drink juice, tea, or even coffee easily.

Have you tried putting flavoring in your water like Mio or CrystalLite? I would definitely recommend against juice, since it is so high in sugar and you should avoid drinking your calories.

I am a few days post op and found lime C-light here in Mexico. It tastes really good, and it's only got 20 cal per pack.

I agree about the juice that's why I avoid it as much as possible but when I'm nauseous it's been a lifesaver. I never tried Mio or Crystallite but I'm willing to try. I'm curious how it tastes.

How about Powerade Zero? I drink those when I get tired of the Water flavors.

Is this something that is new after WLS or something you felt before? If it's a carryover from before, I would suggest pushing through it. I used to say I hated the taste of Water (Diet Coke addict), but I learned to love it over time when I gave up DC.

I use to love water...so I'm actually surprised. I try to chew on ice chips but I don't have time to always chew ice chips. For some reason when I drink water it feels so heavy like I'm drinking cement.

Ewwww yeah those are gross. I like the blue and red Powerade zeros. Maybe some chamomile tea?

I found that post-op, water sat very heavy with me unless it was ICE cold, with ice literally floating it. I got a water bottle that keeps my ice cold all day long and i just drink from that.

Water just doesn't taste good or go down easily post op

Once you flavor it, it's much easily to drink. At least for a while. Eventually it returns to normal

I couldn't stand water either, until about a month ago. My first four months post-op, I just couldn't drink plain water because it would make me nauseous every time. Luckily I could drink it with flavoring like Crystal Light, etc. I can drink it now, finally. But I sure was worried there for a bit that I was never going to be able to!

I drink mainly Water with no flavorings. It's becoming less palatable. And i have to have it room temp. I used to love cold water but realized it doesn't sit well with me. It hurts and feels heavy. Room temp water goes down easier but now im feeling like it may be sitting heavy and i almost border on nauseous. I try to push through but it gets hard.

I was the same, but I figured there's no way around it - water is essential and I'm not going to work around it. So I set a timer on my phone and forced myself to take a sip every three minutes. My sips got bigger and now I can pretty much gulp. I get 64oz on the dot because it's still hard. However, I had a really hard workout this morning and 20oz. went down very well. Oh and here's a tip: Take a few gasX strips, wait a few minutes and try drinking. It's goes down much more smoothly.
