Water!!!!!

So I'm 10 days post op , and before surgery I use to drink a gallon of ice water everyday I love WATER. Now when I try I've water it hurts so bad ..... Why is that ?????? And will it be this way forever ???? Had anyone experience this ???

Probably not forever.  Try experimenting with differen****er temperatures.  Sometimes cold is unfriendly to a new pouch.

I am just about 6 months out now and I was the same way. I love water!! I cannot gulp the gallons I used to do, but I can still put away a bit of water. I just have to drink it a little slower. What I do now is take a great big mouth full and swallow little drinks at a time or just kind of let it run down the back of my throat slowly. The pouch fills up quickly, but luckily it empties pretty quick too of water/liquids. My neighbor has a hard time drinking water still and she's 10+ years out. I hope the best for you!

Yes try different temperature.  I can not drink it cold from the refrigerator but the tap is good.  Also I tried very water downed Crystal Light and that helped but at room temperature.

In the beginning I had a lot of trouble with cold water nor plain water. I had to put lemon or crystal light in it and It had to be room temp. I also could only take little sips. I am 11weeks out and I can tolerate plain cold water again. And I can take bigger sips. I am a happy camper again!

I had posted something very similiar after my surgery. I miss chugging water!  I can now chug about a third of a water bottle (not comfortably) but at least I can quench a thirst now! :)

I have trouble with water first thing in the morning. I HAVE to have hot tea. Sometimes at night, I have trouble, too. I find that sugar free Koolaid or something almost cloyingly sweet (but calorie free) goes down so much easier  for some reason. Also helps that I can drink those a little closer to room temperature, whereas I only like water almost frozen!
