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?

I'm 7 months out and I sometimes actually DREAM of drinking from the hose when I was child. Those long deep gulps for a good minute where afterwards you are out of breath and wiping your face off. lol! Yup, I hear ya and it's not nearly as bizarre as it seems. I LOVE water and not being able to gulp it is one of the more difficult hurdles for me. Sometimes I still do and then I'm hit with nausea.

This, next to surgery complications is my biggest fear. I LOVE WATER-not soda, not juice, and definitely not artificial flavored water. I am a gulper for sure. I will keep the infusing water idea in my hat for sure. I hope I dont start hating the taste of pure filtered ice water

Oh my god yass! Lol the small things.

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?

Ah, the good ole days!!! (Mine were in the 80's). ?

Ditto, water is by far the most difficult thing for me. I drank buckets before my surgery, ice cold and non stop. I still obviously drink now but it's more out of necessity than pleasure. Water vs Food .. Water every time
