Just thought I'd throw this out, as it seems like a lot of fresh post op folks have trouble tolerating their water requirements. I have found myself gravitating more and more to warm liquids - herbal teas, rather than straight water. I do drink lots of water, but warm/hot tea seems to really settle well, if not better than plain water. Water sometimes feels like a rock landing in my pouch, and I am 8 months out. So just an idea to experiment with temperatures and teas, to see if some are more tolerable than others.
