Can't Stand Water

For some reason I am unable to drink enough fluids. Water tastes terrible to me and all of the flavor enhancers are way too sweet. Any ideas? I am so surprised at how my taste seems to have changed.

    Well that's unfortunate. I still love ice water just as much as I did pre-op.

  • Hi dear, they pick orange tree blossoms and distill them till they get a concentrated liquid (consistency of water) it's delicious in lemonade, water, made as a "tea" with hot water and slices of lemo

I find it easier to drink cold water. I also add orange blossom water to it, love the taste and it's great for digestion

If there is a Levant/ Middle Eastern/ Arabic grocery they will have, used to get it even when I lived in Canada [emoji4]

I buy a water called "Hint" in my supermarket. Just the slightest taste to it. Makes water more tolerable. I'm almost 9 weeks out so I use a straw and it makes it so much easier.

I love Hint - exactly as the label says, it has a hint of flavour, without tasting like bubble gum :)

I ad 2 drops lemon flavored essential oils by Young Living to 16 oz or 3 dropps to 20 oz. What a difference in taste!!!!


Please, please , please don't do this! This is so dangerous. It takes approximately 75 lemons to make one bottle of oil. Just think how concentrated that is. It could be so hard on your newly cut stomach to handle this!
