It’s been 3 weeks since my gastric sleeve surgery and I’m still having difficulty drinking water! I have tried it cold and Luke warm but I still gag when I drink it. I tried a flavor packet but I hated the after taste (I.e. Crystal Light). I have tried filtered, spring and distilled Water. My sleeve just doesn’t like the H2O! Does anyone have any suggestions, because I don’t want to get dehydrated? Also I can’t tolerate Gatorade or Powerade either.

Green , Herbal or Decaf Tea. Also try the Protein Waters chilled or my favorites Propel (Strawberry-Kiwi) or Nestle Splash ( Acai- Grape) plus don't stop doing an ounce, 2 oz tops with your baby medicine cups every 15 minutes. I still often do it THAT WAY, even at 10 months nearly. Will be 10 months July 5th, lost more than 120 pounds, a bunch of dress sizes, the size I am now is the size many Bari-pals start out at but I started with a 52+ BMI so I AM PROUD OF ME!

All I can really drink is Vitamin Water zero, cut 1/2 and 1/2 with plain water. Everything else is too sweet and I STILL can’t drink water on it’s own

You just have to get it down for now. It was very hard for me to get Water down the first 6 weeks. I was borderline dehydrated the whole time and even got fluids 2x. Water tasted sweet to me and I really dont care for any sweet beverages.

I was a water lover before and was frightened it would taste weird forever. Today it tastes normal again and I'm hydrated and feeling so much better. Just do the best you can and you will get there too!

Best of luck!

I mixed my Water with cranberry juice and Splenda in a coffee cup and heated it. It was so good and really helped me get my water in.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
