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.

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

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! :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
