i also have a problem with water. it feels weird inside my pouch. it doesn't feel as refreshing and delicious as it did before surgery. it just feels weird. i have started making snow cones with sugar free snow cone syrup. it has saved me. it is how i get the majority of my fluids now.

Thank you both.  I was soooo upset last night but I need to look at it differently.  Yes...I'm very lucky to have my family and love them very much.

Is it just me or am I full of problems? I guess it's just trial and error!

Plain water doesn't sit well in my pouch. I cannot tolerate any artificial sweeteners, so crystal light and most diet drinks are OUT. (Just saw a commercial for Crystal Light Pure Fitness which has no art sweeteners, will have to check that out).  The ONLY thing I can seem to get down fine is vitamin water zero, which is naturally sweetened. Seriously! Even milk gives me a yucky feeling and protein shakes--- also not working.

Anyone else?

I have my post-op 2 1/2 hr class tomorrow morning, I will be bringing this all up to the nutritionist for sure!!
