Water still hurts!

Oohhhhh....the Appletini flavor sounds awesome!  I will look for that :)

It is hard to find but tastes like apple juice and a little sour..... its really good. I think that they make a margarita flavor, I am still searching for it. The crystal light teas are good. I do not know what it is with water....... It does not sit right with me. Not sure if it is because its flavorless? You can buy the single packets IE raspberry lemonade etc and put plain protein powder in it. Gives the liquid some viscosity.

Lastly, I was at a big stall until I started to read the daily food thread. The ones titled WHAT ARE YOU EATING Monday etc.

Amazing ideas there

For the first few months, I could only drink room temp and warmer fluids comfortably.  Even now, two years out, I start each morning with tea or coffee lest my stomach is a bit irritable. 

Grim's advice about surface tension is spot-on.  Even adding lemon to my water made it easier in the first 6 months.  

Not having water issues- but I'm having the weight coming off very slowly issue. I lost 52 prior to surgery and now a month out on the 15th I've only lost 13 pounds. Seems sooo slow but the doctor is not concerned. I did already call last week because I was worried about it.

I had the same thing happen to me. I still can not drin**** cold water. If I do I am like oh crap I shouldn't have done that. Try different temps of water it may help. I drank a lot of peppermint tea in the beginning.
