you could add a sugar free popsicle. I really like the Del Monte Real fruit popsicles.

Thanks for the advice. I will have to try that.


I found that not all water is created equal. Tap water tastes like the pool to me, I'll drink it but I can't drink a lot. Life water has a really good taste to me and I can easily drink a 1 liter bottle in the first half of the day, it just seems to go down easier. I was always against bottled water for the sake of the environment but until I get a good filtration set up at home its worth it for me to be able to drink it.

I am the same way since the day of surgery (8/30/16). From the time I get up to the time I shut my eyes, I am always thirsty. Like @hmills653, not all water tastes the same or even good to me. Gum and mints provide a little relief and allow me to change things up. I don't have a good solution for you, but wanted to let you know that you're not alone, @southernbellair79.

Thanks!!! The thirst is so real I was not expecting that.


I'm 4 days out and so far just switching liquids as been good for me. Though water is the best i can't drink plain water unless really cold. I was told you can use the crystal light packets.

The thirst is the worst part for me. I would give a million dollars if I could just chug a giant Gatorade to extinguish it. The best thing I've found is Sugar Free popsicles. It's the only thing that gives me relief.


I have a cup of crushed ice, every chance I get! I was/am drinking lots of water but the ice made me not feel dehydrated

Tracy, yes I have ice next to me all day. It helps a little. I am going to try popsicles.
