WATER INTAKE

Hello all, I had my surgery on 09/16 and am having a very diffucult time with drinking the 80 ounces a day they say I need to drink. At most I get down a little over 36 ounces. I wasn't a big water drinker before this. It's just after the 36-40 ounces I feel so full of water I can't bear to take another sip. I'm not having any other issues about the surgery at this time......I just seem to be losing my mind(lol) over the water thing. Any suggestions on how I can reach the goal? Thanks Dawn

I have never liked plain water. I always drink double or triple diluted crystal lite, which is much easier to get down. Some people say room temperature is easier that really cold water, too... I know this will be tough for me too.....
