That is SUCH A good question!!! All liquids taste soooo YUCKEY!!!!!!!!! I have tried all sorts of flavors and nothing taste good. My doctor says its normal and it will get better!!

I do struggle with this. Plain water just does not go down well. I have learned that hot decaf tea is he best for me. I drink a lot of it. I also use crystal lite sometimes and drink 1 16 oz bottle a day when walking. Carla

I drink 3 to 4 20oz water bottles a day.Some plan water and some mixed with sugar free ice tea mix.Plus I have a cup of skim milk in the morning and hot tea in the evening.

I have a 20 oz water bottle and I fill it twice a day, so that gets me to 40 oz. Then I usually have an 8 oz glass of 1% milk, a 16 oz glass of decaf tea (with benefiber in it), and I'll often have a glass of light juice or crystal lite in the evening. It was hard in the beginning, but becoming a habit now. I know if I don't drink enough water I can feel it!

I have a cup that hold 32 ozs. I go between crystal ligh****er and sugar free green tea plus my two cups of coffee in the moring. And if I'm out I get an ice tea and a glass of water.

Lea; I love water, always have so it hasn't been a big issue with me. I drink black coffee and herbal tea with nothing added so that also helps get in my fluids. I also like the crystal light teas. There are days when I get busy and forget to drink for an hour or two but then I get busy and start getting in my fluids. I stay away from pop and carbonation completely. That is one evil I promise I will not start again. I also stay away from alcohol completely. So I would have to say that yea I get in my 64 oz. daily. Sally

I try and drink 3 20 oz bottles of water a day..and back to drinking a 20 oz bottle of diet pepsi a day..gotta get away from the soda..I know

I admit, getting all of my water in is a challenge. I tend to drink the majority of my fluids in the evening (because by that point, I realize I haven't had much to drink all day).

I start the day with a 12 oz glass of milk and 5 oz of water. I carry a water bottle with me everywhere I go. I usually put the crystal light travel packs in the water. My first week after surgery I was drinking over 90 oz of fluids a day. (milk, water, crystal light) I think this may be because I was always thirsty before surgery. (I was diabetic.) Like the other post says if I am not eating my 3-3 oz meals I am drinking something.

I have 6 water bottles, all 20 ounce bottles. I have 3 of them out at a time. I drink 1 an hour until lunch, switch bottles and drink one an hour until time to leave. I add crystal light to some of them. It works.
