I am 1 month post op RNY and all of a sudden, water is making me nausous.  Don't understand.  I have been a huge water drink forever.  I have tried room temp, cold, always bottled... but still YUCK.  Any suggestions????

Flavors?  That always helps me out.  (Especially lemonade..  the Great Value from Walmart suited me best..)

I had a similar issue and use Crystal Lite nearly all the time during my first year. It's not an issue anymore.

I use flavors -- there are a TON of them available on the market, and most stores like Target and Walmart have their own, too.  Lots of sugar-free.  I love the Welch's grape, too, because it tastes just like grape juice, which used to be one of my favorite things to drink preop.  Hawaiian Punch also has a pretty good berry-lemonade, fruit punch, blue raspberry, and grape.  They don't taste sugar-free to me. 

You can also try tea, which you can get decaf and sweeten without sugar (Splenda, stevia, Truvia, honey if you can tolerate it, etc.)

I buy the flavored water. Nestle Lemon Splash from Wal-Mart. It's more expensive, but it's the only way I can get my water in each day!  It's way worth it to me! It has splenda in it.

I've never been a big drinker but around 2/200****er became my primary beverage. I would go through the Crystal Light, Walmart version and Wylers version like crazy.  PostOp, I can't tolerate the taste of anything that has artifical sweetners in it (Splenda included) so those were out for me.  I know drink water with either fresh limes or the Real Lime from concentrate!  I was a lemon girl for a while but thought I'd change up.  This has helped me with getting my fluids in.  I don't have a problem with real sugar so sometimes I'll get a tea from a restaurant and have them prepare it 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweetened, just so I don't get ALL of those extra bad things!
