water
I drank nothing pre op but plain water and was so disappointed that I could not drink it post-op. I still mostly drink Crystal Light or sugar free Kool-Aid because plain water just feels too heavy in my stomach. I can even drink the carbonated flavored water from Walmart without problems. Keep trying. You MUST stay hydrated. Gatorade?

Water has not tasted right to me either since the surgery. I drink Crystal Light Lemonade almost exclusively. I carry it around with me. I used to like unsweetened ice tea but now that tastes funny too.

Try some other ways to get in some of your liquid. Popsicles, jello, milk pudding, ice cream. Some times warm liquids can be tolerated when cold can't... hot tea? Hot chocolate? Eggnog?. Make your protein drink with milk instead of water? Almond milk? Soy milk? Keep trying. Its important.
Hmmm, wonder if Bonine or Dramamine would helps the nausea?

Brendalou, right after my surgery I could not drink water either, but what did work like a charm was flat warm diet pepsi. I know some would say that is not good for you. But that and coffee and some tea what kept me hydrated and I had no problems what so ever.
I'm not saying drink pepsi or diet pepsi, but what I'm saying drink what you can.
It's the liquid that is important not what it is (well except for alcohol).
Also if you are not on a PPI you may want to try it, GERD can make you feel nauseous.
