Its been 3 weeks since my surgery. So every time I tried drinking Water it makes me sick to my stomach!! Bloated, painful gases, and nauseous. Is this normal? 

So I’ve been trying my son water which is “infant water” and it’s a big difference. So my question is.. is this okay to drink? I know water is water but you never know.

I am good with tap Water in NY and prefer it better. I learned my lesson when I traveled to FL that water tore my stomach up. When I travel overseas i stick to bottled water only.

Yeah Florida water is not the same anymore. It really depends were you go. You can’t drink the water in Hialeah. But Miami lakes water is fresh.

The first time it was in Ft. Lauderdale. All other trips to Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando we only used bottled. I am just mindful now when i travel.

Next week I am going to do my shopping for my pre-op and post op, while taking into consideration my taste buds may change.

@b0rii305 it's just a type of bottled water with electrolytes

I buy cases of Hint water because it goes down like a dream. Plain water irritates my stomach

Same reason i drin,k Nestle Splash calorie free flavors, plain water tastes bitter, kind of like what i think bile tastes like. IDK why,but it has almost since my surgery 7 months ago.

I drink crystal light in my water or have Gatorade zero. The blue and yellow are surprisingly delicious. I did plain water for a while and quite frankly, it’s boring. You have lots of no or very low flavor options. Mio, crystal light, Gatorade, etc. I count Gatorade as my water intake as it’s mostly water.

Pedialyte will also work but I only get it for my dog when she’s sick so I can’t speak to the flavors.

I think they call it distilled water. My nutritionist had me try regular water at different temperatures and I found that I can’t drink ice water or cold water much it bothers me. So I drink it room temp or warm it up a little.
