3 days post op - drinking water hurts

hi, I'm doing great - minimal pain, okay drinking broth, protein drinks seem to be going down okay. I'm having problems drinking water. I'm drinking it room temperature, but it just doesn't feel good going down and it feels uncomfortable in my pouch. I'm making some warm poemgranate green tea, hoping it will go down better. Any help?

Warm water seems to be the easiest with a little lemon. Don't know what it is but tap water is hard to go down. Could be the chemicals. Watch and see if you don't start tasting the chemicals in water and food now. Remember that though it is water we are just talking small sips. Seems like there isn't enough time in the day to drink all the water and get your protein in and not do it together. It gets easier.

Yep it sure does, my pouch doesn't like cold stuff at all really but kinda smiles with the warm stuff. I feel I have alot of gas rolling around in there to. I'm 2 days post op. Shelia

Hi Jayne I always drank water room temp before surgery. Now, post WLS (16 days out), I drink bottled water, and cold from the fridge. I have found it soothing. Maybe that would help. Take care, Di
