A long gulp of ice cold water. That's what I miss the most. Yes I can sip water, which tastes nothing to me like it did before the surgery, but it's not the same. Feel like I can't quite get my thirst quenched. Anyone else miss this?

ME TOO!

Yeah, I felt that way too during the first couple weeks. At 3 months I have 0 problem with ice water.

I missed it a lot. I used to start my day every day guzzling 16 ounces of water after I brushed my teeth.

I can't quite drink 16 without taking a breathe like I used to but I can do about 12.

Give it time

Oh that's great to know. So I can look forward to bigger drinks?

Yes - I actually get nauseated if I drink too quickly or take anything resembling a gulp. and I never feel really hydrated.

I miss drinking immediately afyer my meal. I used to enjoy a nice glass of water after a meal. Ah well.

Not guzzling water has been the most difficult. I thought it would be the chewing.

I'm in the same boat. I love super cold ice water. I was drinking over 100 oz per day before surgury. Water tastes so different now it sucks! Ice water just makes me sick and I found out I don't enjoy cool water at all.

A few days ago I started to do detox water instead (fruit/veggie infused). The taste of the water now has really helped me. I hate the sugar free water additives.. they have such a nasty aftertaste to me.

Latest favorite is:

mango

pinneapple

cherry

ginger

thai basil

mint

Maybe try some this and see if it helps you?

I'm 3 weeks out today and I guzzled three big drinks of ice cold water this morning. Soon you'll put your sipping days behind you.

I definitely miss that too!!!!! Sipping water isn't the same as taking a nice big gulp :-/

I am 3 1/2 weeks out and I can drink water really fast now. I was worried at first because I thought I didn't have proper restriction but liquids work differently than solids I have a lot of restriction with things like eggs and fish no restriction with water and broth.
You may find that it actually gets really easy to drink...each person is different.

This looks lovely!

I hate how heavy water feels now.

And I hate artificial sweeteners as well.

This looks perfect!

I was a huge water gulper' and ironically that was my biggest concern!
I'm on Day 19 and starting to drink more!

I used to miss subway sandwiches. Lol
