due to my oh so pleasant breath i've come to the realization tha****er by its self is gross.

i've tried A lot of them but have only found one that I really like. It's little jolly rancher drink mix in watermelon flavor. It's a bit sour and is fantastic! I want to try the apple next. One little stick of powder last me three glasses of water(20 oz). Good thing they are sugar free!

what are your go to flavors?

I use to love water by itself, before surgery I would drink 2 litres plain daily. Now I can't stand it without flavouring, weird. I have found I love the crystal light raspberry lemonade. Don't like the strawberry lemonade or the pink lemonade just the raspberry, oddly.

Right now it's Great Value brand tangerine grapefruit, Cherry Pomegranate, and blackberry lemonade.

I love them, and I drink so much more water because of them!

Crystal Lite Orange with my morning vitamins. Otherwise I drink 4C Totally Light Fruit Punch or Lemon Tea (both sugar free and made with Splenda). Buy them in bulk directly from 4C.

4C stopped making their orange flavor so I had to go back to Crystal Lite :(

Our local Dollar tree sells Wyler's 10 packs for $1. I like all the flavors, and at one packet per 32oz bottle, the flavor is still reasonably strong.

I actually have grown fond of putting a few cucumber slices and mint leaves in water. It tastes really good and is awesome in the summer.

Mio makes some really nice flavors that are good. They have an apple one I enjoy. Crystal Light makes a blackberry lemonade one that's decent too.

I also will just stick a green tea bag in my blender bottle overnight to cold steep. In the morning I have the easiest iced green tea ever :)

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Have you read anything convincing about cold steeped green tea being especially wonderful for appetite suppression? I think I read something somewhere a while ago and meant to start drinking it but forgot until your comment just now!
