Many people find water sits in their new stomach quite heavily after surgery or can have a metallic taste to it. Adding something to water can help to change the surface tension making it less dense and more tolerable. It also helps to make water more exciting and can encourge a greater fluid intake! Cold brew teas are fairly easy to find in your local supermarket and are usually very reasonably priced. There are also so many flavours to choose from, just find the ones you like the most. Making up a larger jug each time will mean you’ve always got sugar free chilled iced tea on the go. For a tasty alternative to help keep you hydrated, give cold brew teas a try if you haven’t already!
I use a jug which has a filter for easy tea bag removal. It can also be useful if you have loose leaf tea.
