Nausea after Drinking
Dehydration will cause nausea.
For a very long time only warm drinks my pouch tolerated... She is still a ***** sometimes even now..

I felt this way a lot when I had severe GERD from LapBand complications and a hidden hernia . There is such a thing as "silent" reflux, so that you have some of the obnoxious symptoms (like nausea) without outright heartburn. I'd have a doctor check you out!
I was this way for a long time (till about week 6) and still am if I drink to much too fast. Or drink to early after eating too. Also, some artifical sweeteners make me nauseous as well. And as said, dehydration can be a big part of it.
I would contact your dr and talk to them about it, but it is something that will most likely go away as you continue healing. Good luck!!
I am 10 months post op and still have to drink slow. If I take a sip of a liquid without waiting that golden 30 minutes after food, I will throw up. Just imagine trying to fill up a balloon or any container that has a small opening and you can visualize how a large amount of liquid would look like trying to go into your small pouch. I really didn't worry about mine until everything that I ate or drank gave me reflux or heart burn and that is when my surgeon did an endoscopy and found a small ulcer. It was cleared up with medicine very quickly. Just pay attention to your body and read a lot and just ask when you are worried. The surgeons have seen it all and know the answers. Hope this helps
Can I ask if you are only trying to drink plain water? Water is really still a problem for me. I have to add the flavor Mix ins or something to make it a bit sweeter for me to get it down. And that was never the case before the surgery. There are lots of different calorie free additions these days, I go between crystal light miyo and Kool-Aid 0 cal! I hate to do it because it is still fake stuff you're putting in, but it does make the water go down, as I had a lot of dehydration for a couple weeks before I started doing that. Good luck and definitely keep on top of it, hydration and protein are the key as you know.
