Gagsy 62 Posted March 12, 2018 How do you do it? I used to always be well hydrated but having surgery has actually had a negative effect on my drinking habits. I'm just not thirsty anymore and drinking Water feels like a chore now more than ever.Sent from my HTC 10 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 lifeisgoodforM reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frust8 963 Posted March 12, 2018 Flavor it with Crystal light or Mio. Drink green or herbal tea. The warmth of that might be a nice change up. Put ice in it, some people prefer that to body temprature. Utilize sugar free popsicles, is there any flavor you really like? I like strawberry kiwi, probably,will put some in my hospital bag, fruit punch flavor got sorta wearying after a while and I loathe watermelon flavored anything.

Krista27 341 Posted March 13, 2018 I have gotten really good at this Water game! Yep I treat it as a game or challenge and it literally starts the minute I wake up! I drink at the least 84 ozs a day. I bring my water bottle with me everywhere I go. If its not in my hand its in my purse. I actually now kind have a mini freak out if I don't have it! I also track my water alongside my food in an app on my phone. 1 The World In My Eyes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to get about 100oz a day, now I barely make 56oz and my goal is 64. I flavor it with mio, but I think I might just start cutting up pieces of fresh fruit like lemon/lime etc. The mio is not cheap and it's starting to taste more and more artificial and not helpful! I'm also never thirsty anymore unless I'm working out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
