Fluids, getting them down... warm vs. cold

I am 3 days out and have found that warm fluids go down so much better than cold... But.. it also relaxes my insides enough to drink more cold fluids..
Whew... So glad things are going so well..

Hi Katie!
I had much better luck with warm fluids at first - peppermint tea was a godsend.

Glad you find warm working alright. I was the opposite.. things had to be ice cold or I could not tolerate them .

Yes! Good girl, Katie. You've found your liquid. This is one of the sticky wickets about the early recovery period and why some get dehydrated. It takes peserverence at times to find what works for you.

Your on a roll! Keep it up. -Jenny

Congrats Katie,

Glad to hear your doing well, getting your fluids in at this point is your main job. Anyway is a good way, hot, cold, frozen, whatever your little heart desires!
Don't forget the mantra sip sip sip, walk walk walk, repeat.

At three days out all I could manage was ice cubes!
Keep it up!

It's good to hear things are going well, Katie. I'll have to pick up some decaf tea to have on hand in case warm works for me too. I want to be prepared for everything. Have to pick up some sugar-free Pop-Ice too in case cold is what works for me.

I am not like I was before. I thought that nothing would change me. ~Sinead O'Connor
