Water makes me very nauseous. It started 3 weeks post-op (now I’m 5 weeks). If this happened to you will it go away?

Little sips & experiment with water temp too. Warmer liquids always went down easier for me. It does get better though. I have no issues now.

Plain water is very difficult for many people to tolerate immediately after surgery. Try adding flavoring to your water or go for a sugar-free gatorade, broth, etc. You may also want to try playing with the temperature of your water.

I can do hot tea (but not caffeinated as it upsets my stomach too), bone broth and some protein shakes. It’s weird that I haven’t had an issue with water. I wasn’t a soda drinker and a big water drinker before surgery.
For the first few weeks water wasn’t easy to get down and took small sips, but now it full on makes me ill. That combined with some diarrhea issues and I’ve had a rough couple of weeks… before things were going pretty well food/drinking wise.

I may try squeezing lemons or limes in it… that will next on my list.

Sometimes plain water is hard for me as well. I try to drink a few sips at a time. I also have things like crystal light, propel, etc (sugar free) to help
I have a hard time with faux sugar, it shoots straight through me, even before the surgery.
Wow. That sucks. What if you add cucumber slices or fresh mint?
