“WATER”
Water, water everywhere but in me. I HATE WATER. Very strong
statement but I have never liked it, I’ve tried every brand available
and haven’t found one I really like. I’ve been getting in about 20
oz. a day and that’s an all day struggle. I do drink crystal lite
with no problems and of course, my protein shakes. Any suggestions?
I know how important water is.
Also, does anyone know if it is o.k. to chew your Calcium pills?
I split them to small pieces and put them in unsweetened applesauce
and have no problem chewing them.
Thank you for all your help.

Hey Fran!
I was a “water-holic” before surgery. Loved it, especially Poland spring
water… Mmmm. But now Post-op, it tastes…off. Then again everything
tastes “off”. Have you tried Fruit 2-O made by very fine?? They have a
multitude of flavors, and its sweetened with splenda. They sell cases at
places like BJ’s and Sam’s…its 9.99 for a 24 pack…each bottle is 16 oz I
think. Im particularly fond of Orange…The Lime tastes gross to me
though…but everyone is different.
Off the water topic but…has anyone tried the Atkins shakes in the can?!
They taste SOOOOOOOO good to me! 20 grams of protien, no sugar and 5 grams
of Carbs. I am drinking a chocolate right now….delishhhh!
Good luck!!

If you don’t like the taste of bland water - try putting a little lemon
juice in it. I grew up in a town that had an iorn taste in the water and
never was without a little squeeze bottle (the kind that look like a lemon)
of lemon juice. You can also put just a touch of fruit juice in your water
to liven it up.
