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.

I slice up a lemon and put it in there.

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
