I have never stared at a glass of water with such hatred.

Bwahahaha! I know! American bariatrics hot chocolate, cinnamon vanilla tea with unsweetened soymilk and sugar free vanilla Torani syrup, and chilling my water in a LARGE water bottle and then checking off the glasses on my fitness pal to pat myself on the back when I drink them have all helped me get my water in. I also tried keeping a jug of water in my fridge with fruit slices in it (and trying to come up with interesting combos like raspberry lime). That strategy was only partially successful because the blueberry orange was not as tasty as a thought and little pieces of orange were floating around in the water.

That's all.

HILARIOUS. and I totally agree

I really like True Lemon Lemonade. It is nice and tart too. I use all kind of water add ins and then Vitamin water, propel zero, powerade zero to get all my fluids in. I also count my morning cup of decaf coffee (with half and half and SF Torani syrup) as "liquids" too. If it is caffiene free, has no sugar and only a few calories in it my NUT told me it counts!

I am boycotting water right now, myself!

I'm just glad that I'm finally able to handle more than a sip (and that just came in the last couple of hours). I'm very creative with my liquids, but I'm fighting like hell to get them in!

I think the larger problem is that I didn't drink this much PRE-op...who has time for all this drankin?!

I hear you sister! I'm having such a hard time getting it all in. I've got juices, flavored this and flavored that....but to tell ya the truth...just being able to gulp a glass of water would be refreshing. I had cut out nutrasweet a long time ago and now drinking it leaves me feeling crappy. Trying to get to even 40 or 50 oz I should have an IV hooked to me....

Day one of my complete protein liquid diet.. Starving but I gotta keep my eye on the prize :) a new sexier me!

I always think the same thing! How do I get all these fluids in? Too much liquids required and not enough time in a day to get them all in.

Hahaha... So true, but I've been that way my I entire life, so it's even worse now!

Awesome job!! Just take one day at a time and surgery will be here before you know! :D Drink chicken broth! it hit the spot for me ( i found a good one, not yucky canned broth )

I get very nauseated when i drink plain water... I have been drinking iced tea for two weeks... I have made Luzeanne Tea a little more richer lately
