I have the wors****er habit among all of you. Don't bother trying to compare. I take the booby prize on this one. Before surgery they asked where my water level was. I laughed and said, I think I had a glass this WEEK.

but then after surgery and 18 disgusting flavors later I found Fruit Punch. Not too shabby. I got into a good routine. Like 2 glasses a day but that went to the way side like everything else. But I'm back on my wagon again. Damn it, I better be!!!!

The MD and the nutritionist talked to me about the importance of water. Not just for flushing out the fat cells, the clear complexion, the shiney hair and all that.. Blah, blah, blah. I've heard it.

But this was new.  When you are thirsty, your mouth gets kind of pasty and dry, right? Well your upper pouch works the same way. It doesn't have the stomach acids and what not to keep it wet. In order for the pouch to work properly  and to lesson the chances of getting stuck on everything, make sure to drink your water. Just not with your meal LOL!

Like we needed another reason to get in our water. Apparently I did.

I use to be really bad abou****er.  I drank so much Pepsi and Sprite Zero water was not on my list.

now, that is all I drink because I have nothing else to drink but Ice tea lol.

I have myself in such a habit now I drink nothing bu****er through the week and during the weekends Friday through Sunday I drink noting but Ice tea with splenda.

I can not drink any of them flavored waters they are just so sweet it makes me sick to my stomach :o( .

Try one of those new "Mio" squeeze bottles.  You add as much or as little flavor as you like.

I've tried the Iced Tea and the Strawberry/Watermelon flavors, both are good.

I got the fruit punch while at the store. I haven't tried it yet, but I will today. I'll let you know how it goes.

I found it at Walmart (bet Target has it too) near the crystal light packages. 

I don't remember if it was 2.68 or 3.68 a bottle.. seems a lot, but it has about 24 servings in a bottle.. of course that depends on how much of it you put in your water.  I find a little squeeze goes a long ways.

I got mine at our local grocery called Winco. I think it's a PNW chain although I'm not sure. It was like $2.59 or something close to it.
