Problems with Water???

hey all ok, ive not been getting my water in , so ive been trying today to get it in, but i just cant. It really hurts going down, and then makes my stomach make this funny noises? i dont get it, its jus****er, why does it hurt so bad????jen

Jennifer I had problems with water too but now the crystal light doesn't bother me. I just can't drink like I used too though ,just more less sip it all the time. It hurts if I by mistake gulp a big swallow and takes a few minutes for it to ease up. I still am unable to get my 64 ozs in a day in and I am almost 6 weeks out. Just be patient and take your time drinking. Try crystal light or another drink and see if it does the same thing. Even today I cannot handle the water. Good Luck to you, it does get better every day.... KathyJ

I have the same problem...it has gotten better but I still struggle. I drin klots of Propel. It goes down so smooth. I like the Peach and Orange flavor.

I still have that problem.... 7 weeks out now for me. I can drink the non-clear Crystal Lights, like Sunriser, and the Tangerine-Strawberry with no problems, but the clear ones just sit and gurgle on me. It's really weird to me why the clear ones I have problems with, but not the non clear ones. Same with my Adkins Advantage protien shakes, and the Carb Countdown Chocolate milk. Even regular FF milk goes down good. It's just the clear stuff. Susan Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-247-155 (-38)

You aren't that far out yet, get in all you can though. It took me 3 weeks to be able to get it all in. The more you drink the tighter your new pouch gets. That is why it hurts some times. Just be careful and as my doc said, work up to it but do as much as you can to keep hydrated. I hope this helps a little. Hugs, Debra =^..^=

This is gonna seem "far fetched" but literally, in the last month have I been able to drink water comfortably. I'm almost 6 months out. I have lived on Minute Maid Light Guava Citrus and Raspberry Passion. It goes down sooooo smooth. Not sure what the difference is but apparently, from the posts, it's certainly normal. It'll take you a while to be able to get down 64 oz. I barely do in a days time now, though many did way before me! Just keep workin' at it. You're doing fine!

Jennifer, I drank fruit2o it comes in like 8 different flavors,, it is fruit flavored spring water sweetened with splenda. i cannot drink just straigh****er either and the noises are completely normal. Good luck and i hope you feel better soon. chris Miller
