This is how I've been getting my fluids in. The last couple of days I can't stand either. I'm not trying another Protein drink, I've tried several premade and mix at home and I'm repulsed by all.

I am also starting to HATE MY g2's and I had finally found a flavor I liked. Water is way too harsh, out of the filtered fridge, out of bottles, all of it. I abhor sweeteners so I'm at a loss. This stuff is actually making me feel like I'll gag.

I'm actually concerned about myself. I don't know how I'll get fluids in now. Just when I'd figured it all out. Grrrr. I wanted to work out today too.

Please tell me what you did? Water isn't comfortable. Sweet stuff is sickening. My herbal tea actually made me sick last night. I'm feeling all kinds of nervous about this.

Ps. I'm totally turning into a complaining diaper baby post sleeve. Eek! Depression, mood swings, Fluid woes. I knew I wasn't taking the easy way out, but I didn't expect this to be as trying as it is.

Hi Amytug! I'm sorry that ur having difficulties with getting in ur fluids. I got to the point that if i looked at protein powder I wanted to gag. It was horrible. I switched to RTD shakes and would literally force those down. I wasn't a fan either. I tried different brands and flavors that I typically wouldn't drink. Oddly, I settled with pure proteins mint chocolate. Sounds gross, but it had a different type of texture. Water was tricky too- I played with the temperature. I vaguely remember water causing some discomfort or it made me hungry. ?? I can't remember. I actually used a straw with water (heed ur surgeons advice- everyone is different). I found that my water intake increased with using a straw. Big straws caused more discomfort than the skinnier straws.

I wish that I had better tips for u. Choking down liquid is way better than passing out from dehydration and then requiring a trip to the ER. Who has time for that?! Lol. Hang in there!

Lol thanks! That IS helpful actually because I'd tried the cup With the really fat straw I got at the hospital and that wasn't comfy. Maybe I should try a coffee straw or just a regular sized straw. I honestly would rather get in Water than Protein drinks, I think it's much better for the body. There's icky stuff in Protein Drinks.

I'm also going to pick up juicing my green juices again. That's going to take the place of protein drinks. I just pulled it out again.

Thanks!!

I like the powerade zero grape because its not sweet and it's a real mild flavor...

Perhaps pick one up next time your out and see how it treats you.

Oh and one bottle is 34 oz's yay!!

Cool, I'll have to grab one when I'm out.

I notice the later in the day, the more I start liking the flavor again, so that's a plus. I buy the clear g2's that are fairly mild too.

I really want to pick up some "hint water" that I read about in the board recently but none of the stores here carry it. I'll have to add it to the "when we go to the city" list.

I have this stuff called True Lemon, True Lime, and True Orange - flavors water without sweetener. I found it near the sweeteners in the grocery store. Maybe that would help?
