Water makes me nausious?

I'm almost 2 weeks out, and water has made me nausious from day 1.  Other things (Propel zero, protein shakes, milk, soup) do not make me nausious.  I can drink water, I just feel uncomfortable for a few minutes after the first sip.

Has anyone else had this problem?  How long did it take to go away?

Sorry that is going on but we are all so totally different. I was and am able to drink water from day one. I cannot stomach the flavored stuff, nothing, nada...well, except for sweet tea but I have to stay away from that.
My friend on the other hand is at goal and has been for months and has not been able to drink plain water at all, still can't. She drinks lots of sugar free lemonade and sometimes mixes it with protein powder.
Hope that helps some.

Totally know what you mean!

I just passed a month and I still cannot drink water.  I never liked it much before  but I was able to drink it with no problem.  But since my surgery, it has actually made me nauseaus.  It is really upsetting because I don't really like many diet drinks so I am having a really hard time getting my fluids in.

I think I might be better once I am able to drink more than a sip at a time, but I really hope this water problem goes away soon.

It quite common.  I have to flavor my water with crystal lite or lemons etc.  I read some where that it has to do with the density of the water (or something like that).

Does the water have a taste to it. I seem to be more sensitive to tastes after surgery ( I am 9 days out ) and some water tastes awful to me, because of this I often flavor my water with crystal light or substitute it with propel. I am having more of a problem with the Boost ( Protien drink ) that I have to have. I was never a big milk drinker prior to surgery and to me it tastes like chocolate milk. I am supposed to be drinking an ounce, of Boost, every hour and I almost gag it down everytime. I think the thickness bothers me also, it reminds me of whole milk and I was raised on skim. But I know what you are talking about with the uncomfortable feeling, because that is what my boost does to me. I am just hoping I can hold out until I start soft foods, which is in 2.5 weeks. Hopefully then I can start substituting the Boost for things like cottage cheese, and be rid of the Boost for good!

Two words:  Diet Snapple.  This has saved my life.  I was on the verge of dehydration because I hate the other Crystal lite kinds of drinks.  This is so good and zero cals, goes down great.  I got on the Internet and found a recipe to make it myself, so much cheaper now!

It doesn't agree too well with me, either. I've been drinking some Propel, vitamin water zero, crystal light, etc. I didn't just love water prior to surgery. We always drink sparkling water and I would just love some now!
Mom to 8, looking forward to a healthy future!

I had the same problem in the beginning. I got really tired of all the flavored drinks. Then I started drinking Smar****er and have been fine every since. I still cannot stomach different brands of water. The only down side is Smar****er is expensive.
