The One Thing I Miss The MOST Since Surgery
Oh I hear you on that one. It seems like I'm constantly thirsty and can't get enough water/liquids into me. Not only with the sip sip sip but if it's not cold now I don't like the taste. The temp never bothered me before surgery.
It's funny earlier today was the person who was going to miss straws. We all have things we miss. I know some people miss their soda etc. I don't even miss my Diet Mt. Dew.
I was worried about never having coffee after surgery. Then I come on the forum and find people that do drink coffee and I'm like Yeah!!!! Life will be good. Then ironically after surgery I can not stand the taste of Coffee or even the smell of it!!! I just laugh to myself over that one. I teased the Dr. today that he removed the "Coffee Loving section" from me during the Surgery to make me quit drinking it!!!

I'm a guzzler. I couldn't chugg it at all in the beginning and I'm still no where near where I used to be (I could down a 16oz bottle of water in one swoop pre-opt)..but I can get a 16oz bottle down in a few minutes...like 2-3 if I'm working out...close to 4-5 if I'm drinking normally.

I'm a guzzler too. That never changed. Tepid water doesn't sit well in my pouch, but when it's cold, I can still throw back with the best of them and suck down a 16oz bottle in no time. I'm a loyal MetroMint fan. It's a little pricey, but the mint essence is so crisp and refreshing and it keeps my tummy feeling good.
I'm 3 months further out than you, so it might change for you.
Here's hoping!
