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

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

Which one, may I ask?

[gypsyjolie 38]

Plain Water is such a struggle! A bit of lemon in it seems to make my stomach accept it better. Iced Mint tea is the only thing that it seems to like ( I never could stand Crystal Light or other aspartame sweetened drinks). I even drink plain almond or soy milk now. Dairy still a no for me at 2.5 weeks out.

The brand is Orrington Farms. I think we got it at Walmart. It was delicious. I love both the chicken & beef broths. They come in a jar with a black lid. It's like a powder, not liquid.< /p>

Thank you! I will look for it!

Me too. I *KNOW* I need to drink more Water. Period. That includes adding Crystal Light Pomtini liquid flavoring to the wa-wa... I just don't drink enough.

[DonRodolfo 1,416]

It's not the flavor, it's the thought of swallowing it.

Wait, it's the flavor, too.

Argh! I used to b a huge Water drinker. Now I feel like I'm drowning.

Someone around here way smarter than me once said they added Crystal Light (or was it Mio) to their Water not so much for taste, but to make it easier to drink. Have you tried it?

I give Water the evil eye every day....a struggle I will have to keep fighting...

[LipstickLady 25,682]

I've tried it all. I like crystal light, I like the ocean spay packs I bought, I even got used to iced tea (which I've always hated -- imagine THAT in the Bible Belt).

Consuming liquid is a chore and it makes me feel nauseous and burpy and bloated and gosh darn it, I've been on my period for almost 7 weeks now and I hate everything!

Phew... That felt good.

When I couldn't stand one more teaspoon of chicken broth, I had an idea: I ordered a quart of wonton Soup from my local, strained the broth into a bowl for me, and gave the hubster a big plate of wontons. The second time I did it, I poured some boxed chicken broth into the the quart container and put it into the freezer.

It was a great change - so delicious.

Since that worked, I ordered some coconut-lime Soup and did the same. Oh yum.

A little pricey to get broth but a life saver for me.

Sorry, LipstickLady...I know from your other posts that you are being a diligent post-oper and it must be very frustrating for a water-lover to be struggling to get liquids in

[LipstickLady 25,682]

Thanks. It gets better each day, but I'm pretty impatient, so...

I am so sorry, I wish I could help.

I struggle with this too and we can't get Crystal Light or Mio in Australia. There are "cordial mixes" but they are mostly sugary. The only ones that come in diet are lemon, lime, and "lemon lime bitters" flavor. I don't care for the citrusy ones. i miss the Crystal Light packets from when I was in the US. I count coffee, tea, and non-chunky Soups as liquids and I still don't get enough. It's my one struggle. It's not really that the Water tastes bad, I just forget to drink it. If only I would feel thirsty.

I am able to get it down better if I squeeze a lime wedge into a glass though. But I think it would be better if I could add some gin!
