My go to Water is fresh mint and a quarter of a slice of lemon...

Orange and lemon

orange and cinnamon

Apple and cinnamon

Lime and raspberry

Lemon and lime

Cucumber and lemon

I found it helped a lot early out to soften the Water making it easier to drink

Thank you, I forgot about infusing..

I used to infuse Water with sliced orange, cucumber and mint... Was very refreshing... I should try that again. Thanks for reminding me!

I usually just drink my Water plain, or when out I ask for a lemon. I've had cucumber infused Water before and that is rather refreshing, but I'm a pretty plain jane girl when it comes to flavors; kind of a vanilla or chocolate kind of thing. I don't really like flavored drinks like iced teas and such.

Is it bad that I drink Crystal Light packets 80% of the time and regular Water the other 20?

Whatever gets your Fluid in! I enjoy plain Water as well, but the fact is that Crystal Light just makes it go down faster and easier, allowing me to get more down in a day.

I would like to wean off of the artificial sweeteners one day...but today is not that day.

I use great value Water Enhancer. They're usually only five calories and they taste amazing.

Oh, I just did some research: you can fill up a picher with fresh or frozen fruits of your choice and pour Water over it. Let it sit and then drink it. I read that it's really good!

So far I was able to tolerate only the lemonade flavor I think it was lime time, crystal light not so much yet... Guess I have to try all different flavors.

I prefer to drink Water by itself too but it doesn't go down as well as if I have it mixed with something

@@CHM I hear ya. I am right at a year out and this summer is really going to be the first summer because of a crazy complication. Loooooong story haha.

Anyway, I have every flavor they make I am sure. Sometimes I get to where CL seems to sweet but I have never had a problem from it. I lived on the lemonade flavor for the first little bit but now I am all over the place.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
