Beverage Poll.....

Ok, everyone could you share what you drink in a day during these hot months. I will drink water as a last measure, but I hate it. Need some ideas on different ways to ge****er in. Thanks, Dana

I say force feed it somehow, lol .... That's what I'm about to start doing. I am no role model, in anyway. I have to make myself drink the water. This really baffles me because pre op I could gulp water all the time, loved it. Now it's an effort to get my req'd ounces in, and more than not I fall short of the required amount. I seem to like the crystal light lemonade packets that you add to the water bottles. I drank a lot of this during baseball season. The ones in the little cylinders are sweetened with Splenda, and the tubs that you mix in a pitcher are sweetened with aspartame. I prefer the Splenda. I noticed when I have a water bottle on my person, it is a conscious effect that makes me take a drink more often. I need to go and get some more of the lemonade packets and carry the bottle with me. I have a large cup of water on my desk, but rarely pick it up and drink it. Thanks for the jolt! Dianne

Hi Dana, I drink 1 cup decaf coffee in the morning then because I get bored very easily I drink a lot of diff. things for a total of at least 100 oz a day of. water with lime and splenda decaf tea with splenda and the i use different SF syrups or extracs ie raspberry, root beer and so on, I also add the SF syrups and extracs to just plain water to flavor it myself. And of course the old stand by Crystal light. Also I dont know if you shop at Shop Rite in DE but they have an amazing mango kool aide that i add splenda too. Hope this helps and good luck.... Kristina

Hi kristina, Thanks for the ideas I dont shop at shop rite, but when I am in the area, I think I will stop in. Where do you find the different syrups and extracts? Thanks again, Dana

Hi Dianne, Wow, I am the same way, pre-op in the summer I loved ice water kept it at my desk all the time, no problems getting water in. Now, I gag when drinking plain water. I have been trying different thinks like just a tad of sugar free lemonade. I love propel, but I can't always afford it. Well, I guess we just have to force it just like you said. Take care, Dana

Jus****er and wine. seriously. T

mixed together? Now, I am at work, I dont think I could do wine. But maybe after work..... Thanks, Tina

I'm new, but I discovered V8 splash Light--tropical blend. It helps me get 16 oz. in. I am a water hater too, and I am already a little sick of the flavored waters. I haven't tried any of their other varieties. 8 oz. also has vitamins A and C and is sweetened with Splenda. It takes away my craving for juices. Sue

Hi Dana, I guess I can say that I am a good one for water. I have always loved it. But they do have tropicana sugar free non carbonated lemonade, fruit punch and orangeade. I like the lemonade better though. You always have crystal light..... Hope this helps. Christie
