Whoa!

Just had my surgery on Wednesday and just this afternoon, Water now tastes sugary!!! It could be worse. It could taste salty, but its weird that my taste buds really have changed.

When I was in the hospital after surgery, Water tasted like chlorine. It was totally undrinkable. Thank goodness for ice chips that did not have the same taste.

Oh, wow! yeah, see, it can be SO much worse. Does the Water you drink at home taste any better?

[Autumn Riley Arnold 92]

But I think they do put chlorine in the Water at hospitals to get your hands cleaner. Clean hands of nurses and doctors are important. But you'd think they'd give you bottled water there and not from the tap.

I still have this problem today. If I drink Water from the tap or even filtered Water it tastes dusty to me. I have to buy spring water and drink it at room temp.

I cannot tolerate any artificial sweeteners because I am alergic so occasionally I will use lemon, lime or other fruits in non spring water.

Recently I started using essential oils in my water and I love it! Grapefruit, tangerine, lime, and even peppermint. It just takes a drop or two and you get the value of the oil plus it flavors your water a bit.

Thank you I will have to try that ????

Sounds like a good idea, Djmohr

I am having surgery on September 28! I can't wait. Everyone's advice is so helpful. I can't do artificial sweeteners either, and am glad to know there are others out there that are making it work! I'll have to try my DoTerra oils in my Water, too!

Congrats on your surgery date! I'm 10 days out from mine. If I could go through it all over again, I wouldn't have been as nervous as I was and would have been more excited. There really was nothing to worry about.
