Fiddleman 4,376 Posted January 18, 2013 I really could not handle plain ol' tap Water for a while post-op. It tasted like aluminum foil and Iron, even though I have verified our tap Water has only 3% metals contamination, if that. According to some online resources, the average is 30% especially in cities. For this reason, I have been adding flavors to water for the longest time (desani drops are my favorite after trying crystal light, mio, propel and a few others). Fast forward 6 months and water does not taste metallic any longer. That is the good news. However, I still cannot drink it because it is just not that appealing ( it takes effort to force myself to sip it). With added flavors, I can get through large quantities of tap water. I guess I will continue flavoring it as I need to remain very hydrated during the day with running. Do you think plain ol' tap water will ever be appealing again?

Googler 31 Posted January 18, 2013 I sure hope so, cause I miss it! I used to drink a few gallons of tap Water per day--by choice. I preferred it to sodas, coffees or teas, but now, I can only get in my fluids each day with tea--and just regular tea. I really wanted to like fruit teas, but they just don't do it for me. I'm almost 4-months out now and plain Water causes my stomach to cramp. I have tried the mio drops and the taste just isn't good to me either. Good luck to you!
