Is it bad to drink ice cold water? I love drinking my water super cold.

Hasn't been for me. 2 1/2 months post op & I prefer my drinks super cold too.

It isn't bad it doesn't matter what the temp is. I couldn't tolerate ice water, it felt like daggers in my stomach.

I had heard about cold water/drinks hurting your stomach, but I've never had an issue. I've always preferred my water ice-cold - I drink way more when I have ice. My big YETI cup has been my constant companion since surgery! My problem is wanting to chug it sometimes - I have to stop myself! LOL

It made me sick this morning. I think I will have to drink it warm.

pre-op I LOVED ice cold water. Post-op all I wanted was room temp. Once I hit 4 months post op I started craving cold water again.

I'm not sure if you're pre or post op. Post-op for one month since I was healing, I liked warm broth because it soothed my stomach. After I healed (week 6 when I felt normal) I was back to loving my super cold drinks.

I'm 2 weeks out as of today and love my ice cold water with a straw. Never had an issue.

I love to add the sugar free single packets so I don't get bored with just plain water. I have every flavor that Hawaiian Punch makes and some Crystal Lights. They are so good. And for a treat, I get the Minute Made Light Lemonade (in the soda isle) it's not carbonated, I add the Hawaiian Punch Lemon Berry Squeeze 1/2 a packet. and it is SO GOOD. (that's my soda fix).
