missing water...how 'bout you?
...i still find myself missing plain water, which i loved so much and drank to my hearts content before surgery and wonder if anyone else still cannot handle the 'taste' and 'heaviness' of water? throughout these past 16 months i have tried and tried again to no avail. :****d tea, coffee and diluted juices, no problem whatsoever...bu****er, it sinks to the bottom of my stomach like the titanic to the ocean floor.
...is it a 'head' thing? i don't think so. :/

I have drinken 2 bottles of plain water since surgery - both outside in the heat when i was hiking and I'd have drinken almost anything.
Other than that - i can't do it. At all. I carry Mio around in my purse so I can always drink something. Even though I prefer using a lot of it, even just a little bit makes the water more tolerable to drink. I can't do iced tea though either - makes me vomit instantaneously. It's really bizzare.

It's not a head thing, many have the same problem with plain water.. I wasn't able to tolerate it till about a year out, now I can chug plain iced water just fine. I still add a little lemon or lime once in a while, or if I'm having a sweet craving, some Crystal Light.. but I used to have to rely on it to "soften" the water and allow me to drink w/o feeling like I was drinking lead.

I can usually handle most anything, but sometimes water reacts badly. I handle it best with LOTS of ice - not sure why that makes any difference. But when its room temp or even cool, yuck! Feels wrong and makes my stomach feel icky.
Elena's sliced fruit in the water works too - or a squeeze of lemon. I make lemonade too - squeeze a few slices of lemon in and add splenda or truvia. makes a nice refreshing drink!
