Someone on here told me to mix my water with a little juice. So I did and it was AWESOME! Tastes like juice, not water. I did 1/3 cherry juice to 2/3 water. Very yummy! You could also try white grape juice! Good luck!

You didn't mention which drinks you've tried. So I'm putting up my favorite, Crystal Light Lemonade. I've been drinking it for over 10 years, daily, and I've loved it since the 1st day - never got tired of the flavor.

My go-to instead of water is Vitamin water zero. I don't find it has an aftertaste.

I'm 6weeks out and I love drinking half and half lemonade ice tea diet snapple it only has 10 calories the whole bottle no sugar no carbs it's so good it doesn't have that artificial sweetener taste I brought a case of 6 from Walmart I like iced cold from the freezer u should try they have other flavors as well like peach tea .. Enjoy

Oh another I like is the Fuzz slenderize drinks only the slenderize ones cause the calories are between 5 to 15 the whole bottle those are so good as well my fave is the cranberry plumagrante so good

I have found that if I chew spearmint gum while drinking my water it helps it go down easier. :-)

Diet Peach Snapple has saved my life! lol

I drink lots of decaf tea with splenda, mio drops in my water, a little cherry extract is good sometimes, especially if you put some lime juice in it. Mostly though, I just do it. It's a necessity and I don't even stress it anymore. I drink at least 64 oz of water daily, every single day.

I was a huge Water drinker before surgery, after it irritated my sleeve so I have to add g2 to it. I hope I can go back to it soon. I never liked the artificial flavors and g2 is the most tolerable to me but only rain berry. When I stock up at the store I get weird looks when I have 20 bottles in my cart,lol

I found that I can drink a lot more liquid if I choose hot fruit flavor herb teas like bigelows cranberry apple (or any brand of fruit flavored tea that you like), sweetened with truvia sweetner. Some times I add a quarter of a cup of orange/peach/mango juice to 2 cups of water with 2 tea bags. Also add some cinnamon. Can also add a bit of Crysta, instead if juice. I use oeange flavor. l It tastes great, goes down easy, and warms me up. I generally drink at least 6 cups of this each day. Rather than being something I have to force down, it is a pleasure. I also love Good earth decaf vanilla chai tea, again sweetened with truvia. Hope you find something you can enjoy.

I like to drink sobe life water when there is a good sale on them. Fuji apple pear is my favorite flavor. Otherwise, I am currently mixing Desani Pink Lemonade with tap water and there is no aftertaste. Some of the other water enhancers like Crystal Light will irritate my throat after a while in addition to having weird aftertaste. Not sure why, but it does.

The lemonade version of crystal light is the BOMB!

I love Mio. There are a few flavors I drink regularly but the best IMO are the strawberry watermelon and tangerine orange. They're good for me for 2 reasons, 1, I don't like much flavor in my water... Just enough to change the taste and its easy to use just a little or a lot and 2, I use a big 32oz tumbler so I don't have to worry about those pre-measured packets. I always have one bottle at home and one in my purse! :)

MIO sweet tea tastes so good, even though its sugar free. Also, think of all drinks that hydrate, hot tea, SF hot chocolate, chicken broth, soups, veggies and fruits with a high water content, watermelon, cucumbers. Broaden your palette, you don't need to just drink water! I have 2 giant cups of coffee in the morning and chai tea in the afternoon and plenty of iced tea at home using MIO sweet tea flavor. Hawaiian Punch makes little SF packets and they are light flavors perfect for a water bottle, served very cold.
