Water Breakthrough

On the goal of trying to get my 64 ounces of water in a day and mostly failing, I finally tried something else that worked beautifully!  I bought some of that Diet Cranberry Drink that has 5 calories a cup.  I don't like fake things, and usually stay away from them.  But I filled up my pint mason jar with ice and then poured the fake cranberry drink in, then add water when it gets low.  I am easily getting in five of these!  More than the minimum!  Yay!

Try fruit infused water - I use strawberies....I use 1 cup of berries for 32 oz of water- 3 times...then I eat the berries with my yogurt or add to my shake.

Also love an orange infused water.

Glad you found something that works.  I will have to look for that.  I bought a ton of crystal light, in the hospital I can't stand it.

I've been using Trimino protein water and Crystal lite (store brand) peach  tea. I keep a 64 Oz container of peach tea by my side all day.

The Trimino adds 7 gm protein per 16 Oz Extra bonus of protein with fluids I need anyway

Isn't it amazing how something that tasted great before surgery you can't stand after surgery?  I was drinking the vanilla premier protein shakes before, absolutely cannot tolerate themm now.  And water!  I have to choke it down.  Going to look for the Trimino that Pat suggests... Could use the extra protein.  

I had some Trader Joe turkey chili the other day that was great.  But when I had it yesterday I almost could not fini**** and now even the smell is making me sick.  Things change on a dime!
