hey everyone, I'm 3 months post op now and still having trouble getting all my water in.  It gives me pains in my stomach when I drink water. Anyone have any advise or going through the same issue.  I get about 2 cups a day.

Two cups of water - 500mls - is not enough. Are you getting more liquids in through other means - IE - - juice, flavored water, milk, broth, even sugar free popcsicles - etc? It doesn't have to be plain water. As long as it is caffeine free and not loaded with fats - most any liquid will do. And your water intake doesn't have to be in large amounts at a time. Sip, sip ,sip. Good  luck to you!

Yes I am drinking low sugar/calorie milk, Gatorade and juice no problem.  Just having problems with water. It gives me this painful feeling after I drink some
