Getting concerned

Jan 26, 2011

I have lost quite a bit of weight.  I'm extremely happy about that.  I've read and heard that 3 things are important after WLS.  Protein, Water and exercise.  I've always LOVED pure water, however, from day one of surgery, when I take a sip of water, even very tiny, it hurts my stomach.  I have tried luke warm, ice cold, and hot.  Each do okay for a couple of sips if I'm lucky, but I've yet to just drink a glass of water without issue.  I have tried unsweetened tea, hot or iced (my favorite even prior to surgery) and I have about the same results as water.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Is it temporary?  Am I doing something wrong?  I don't think I'm drinking too much or too fast (even one little sip)???

Another concern I have... I cannot eat anything sweet anymore.  I actually start gagging and nearly throw up.  This eliminates almost all protien drinks.  I considered watering it down, but that means I have much much more to drink and it's difficult to drink enough as it is.  Any suggestions?  Any products that taste like unsweeted tea?? :) 

Okay,  thats about it.  I hope that anyone can give me some feedback.  I need help.

Thank you.
