Old Favorite Beverages No Longer Do the Trick...Looking for Suggestions

Well at least I know I'm not alone lol.  Yes, I drink coffee but am only allowed one cup per day, so still need other stuff to get me through my 64 oz.  For some reason even my tap water tastes gross to me today, so getting some bottled water and hopefully that will help.  

One of the reasons, if not the biggest reason, I didn't do this surgery sooner was under the misconception that I couldn't drink much water anymore. I'm a huge water drinker and hope I still will be afterwards, albeit in small amounts and sips of course. But another idea, and I'm not sure if it was previously mentioned, is sugar free vitamin water. Sorry for my French, but that **** is good.

YES!!  I've always been very sensitive to smell. Since the surgery, this seems to have increased. Everything STINKS!  I keep asking "Do you smell that?" "What stinks??"

At my 2-week follow up, I mentioned that everything tastes funny.  Turns out I have thrush from the antibiotics they used pre-op. Still trying to get that silliness under control.

I'm drinking diluted Crystal Light and Wegman's "wonder water".  I have Mio but haven't tried that yet.
