I was sleeved on 3/8 and initially could only drink room temp beverages. After about a week I felt like I was going to die of thirst. I just wanted to be able to fill my mouth with some ice cold water to quinch my thirst. I started adding the Crystal light lemonade flavor to my water and that quinced my thirst. I now add that to my water and unsweet tea. I makes a world of difference and it doesnt even taste like its missing the sugar.
