When I first came home I used chipped ice and it helped keep me hydrated. Now I use mio in my water and propel. It changes the flavor and helps.

I have a 32oz plastic water bottle I fill in the morning w water, ice and a generic crystal light packet. When I get home I refill it. I try to get 2-3 down per day.

Try mio, crystal light, decaffeinated teas, different temps.
Like the above poster, I have a 32 ounce water bottle that I fill up 3-6 times a day. I also find it easier when I carry a glass around with it too. (people make fun of me for it, but since I've started doing it, I've had no problem getting the water in)

I drink 2-3 lifewaters a day + 4 cups of chicken broth. At five months, sometimes the chicken broth is still the only way to get enough liquids in. Ice water with lemon works some of the time, but plain water almost always hurts to drink.
Keep fluids handy at all times, in sight, preferably. If I see it right in front of me, I'm more likely to drink, at least.
Good luck.
