I had surgery on the 10th. Water was and is hard. I tried Sur water enhancer, too sweet. I found for me warm stuff goes down better. I managed 4 grams of protein yesterday by drinking 16oz of sugar free hot chocolate. Today I found Protein20 at Riteaid. I'm sipping the coconut flavor, it doesn't seem that sweet to me. I also try to o drink Celestial Seasongs tea. This is so hard, you are not alone.

31 lbs is fantastic. I was sleeved on 8/22 and have no idea what I have lost because we had to evacuate due to Hurricane Harvey. I kind of like not weighing and am thinking of not weighing until my 2 week check.

Out of surgery I could not drink water without having major, major dry heaves. Even tiny sips sent me into spasms. Try other things. Popsicles and unsweetened tea were easier for me. Crystal Light was easier. Over time I was able to take sips larger than 1/2 tsp at a time and now I can even take two sips in a row...sometimes. I still burp like crazy. Please find something you can drink so you don't end up dehydrated!

Well I'm glad I'm not alone. I finally found something I like and can drink decaf coffee with creamer and Splenda.

And I M not even a coffee drinker

Yippee!!! I was an avid coffee drinker and now I can't stand the smell. I'm really happy you found something though.

It's weird how this affects your tast buds so much.

Yes, you are not alone!! Try to sip as much as possible, you don't want to end up dehydrated. Sugar free popsicles were my main staple, even if I only ate a bit of it at a time.

I'm 1 week out and have only lost 10 lbs but I think my body is holding onto water and I have hashimoto's hypothyroidism.

Water tastes disgusting. It causes pain when other liquids don't. I've been doing 1/4 juice and the rest water or crystal light or non-caffeinated iced tea. It's 105 degrees in La so I need so much liquid and I was doing great at first but have fallen behind.

Something's changed nearly three weeks out and all of a sudden I feel ill when I eat

Call your surgeon. It's most likely nothing or something small like the position you're eating in, what you're eating etc but I understand the fear, though differently since I'm only 8 days out.

Your surgeon's office is there to help. Are you taking a PPI?

Hi Kate! No PPI. The thought of food is making the nausea worse. I was only able to consume a total of 250ml (1 cup) of food today with 1 meal to go [emoji22]
