Crystal Light vs. Water... why?
I'm almost 5 months out and straigh****er is still tough for me most days. I've read in many posts here that I'm not alone. Flavored water like Crystal Light goes down MUCH easier.
So, I asked my surgeon last week why this is. All he said is that it's very common, but they don't really know why. (I seem to get this answer a lot and it's frustrating.)
So, does anyone know why?

I loved water before my surgery and 80% of was fluid intake was water. After surgery, I don't know what happened. Now, I'm almost 4 years out, and can't get my fluids in, if I only drink water.
Pre surgery I was a huge water drinker, I would drink 80oz of just plain room temperature water every single day for the last 14 years. But after surgery.. omg water is hard to get down if its not in tons of ice.. and I bought DELICIOUS crystal light strawberry/banana/orange YUMMY.. But just even a few sips of it, and it makes my throat feel very weird and I have no idea why.. Just can't do crystal light.. WISH I could though
