I find it a lot easier to drink flavored water, i.e. With crystal light or 0 calorie mixes. However, for the most part I have been drinking 1/2 flavored and then the rest of my water plain. I was just wondering if it's an issue if all my water is flavored. My dietary guide says drink 64oz of CLEAR liquid but that is listed in the area of info to follow right after surgery. I am just wondering what you all do. Thanks!

All my paperwork for 'clear' fluids include G2, Powerade Zero, Crystal Light.... etc.

Clear liquids include all those flavored things....so long as they are sugar/carb free and zero cals.

Honestly......water tastes "funny" to me unless I put some lemon in it.  If its plain water it tastes gross.....which is weird.  Water never had a taste to me before.

I drink a lot of diluted crystal light daily.....like 1/4 strength.....just to give it some flavor.

Yeah, Water doesn't taste too good to me anymore. I just noticed others posted about the taste on another thread. I think some cyrstal light flavors have 5 calories...I better check. The punch fflavor mix I bought today is great and has no calories/carbs. I found it at Aldi store.

It does have 5 cals per 8 oz.....but like I said......I drink it 1/4 or less strength so 10 calories for 64 oz....I have no problem with that.

Never thought of diluting it...good idea. I am looking forward to skipping the plain water for now! Thanks

Don't worry doggz - I had the same thing regarding water having that funny taste. It will go away in a couple of months or so. I don't enjoy cold water anymore though. Room temp for me.

The one that i love the most is MIO it comes in a little triangular bottle and has no calories, no sugar, no carbs it tastes great!!! I like the peach tea one the most. it is delicious. but its a water enhancer so you just squirt a little or a lot depending on your own tastes. i like a medium amount and i think its awesome!!!
