How is your water tasting now?



Recommended Posts

So does anyone know why this happens?? I have heard it from many, many sleevers that plain Water either tastes funny or upsets their tummies. Oregon, you said something about the doc said it wasn't the right Ph for our stomachs, I wonder if that is the real reason?? Just curious as it seems it is pretty common.

I have been a big time Water flavored since surgery for several reasons. Mostly' date=' plain room temp Water is too "hard" it does not settle right even now at 1 year. My tap water is actually pretty good as far as purity is concerned. I have a little home measurement device that gives me the readings. I do not have access to ice water for the amount of water I drink daily. Seriously, I drink like a race horse - 1-1.5 gallons daily. Even more then my dog which I thought was a champion water drinker. :)

Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when drinking some fruit infused water on a garden tour with my wife. The water had sliced oranges, lime and cucumber. It was really refreshing and tasty. I now have to get in a habit of flavoring my water this way because it will save so much money over buying water enhancers every week. I know others have already mentioned this to me a while back, but I finally tried it and love the taste. Question remains if there are any calories from drinking water flavored this way and how long does it take for infusion to do its magic? I like a good amount of flavor and not just a hint.[/quote']

Fiddleman, slice your fruit/ veg/ herbs etc thin and put heaps into a 1.5 gallon container and steep overnight. I dont put it in the fridge- just let it sit out as I prefer it room temp. Unless you use a lot of sugary fruit ( orange sadly is one) it wouldn't add up to many extra calories at all I reckon. I've also added cold cinnamon and apple, or mango tea to the mix which is good too. Cucumber is the best though, and lots of it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
