I like the 4C Totally Light, the new MiO liquid (no after taste) and water with lemon and either a little splenda or truvia.

You might try Ocean Spray diet cran-grape drink-yummy!   I also drink Vitamin Water zero acai berry every day.    And, of course, tons of sweet'n'low iced tea with lemon!

I like the Propel Zero Berry flavor in the 24oz bottle, drink a little and add No sugar added concord grape/cranberry juice.  I add about a 1/4 cup mmmm , I also like the grape Propel Zero with a bit of apple juice.

VSG on 03/08/11 with
 Powerade Zero, lo cal gatorade, Decaf Tea or iced tea.  I don't like crystal light either.  Too sweet and I don't like the after taste. The powerade zero is my favorite.

It was hard for me too, at first, so I feel your pain. It will get easier as you can drink a little bit faster. I liked the grape Propel water zero, but none of the other flavors. I liked Sobe zero calorie LifeWater in a couple of the flavors. I didn't love any of the crystal light flavors, but like someone else mentioned, the Hawaiian punch brand has a few flavors that are different. My husband loved them, and I like them sometimes, too, but they are not something I can drink all the time. Mostly I just force myself to drink water plain. I remember, though, how hard it was at first, and I can tell you it gets SO MUCH BETTER. Congrats on your surgery, and I hope the water situation gets easier for you soon (for your husband's sake, too).

for me it was the peach flavored propel zero and none of the other flavores for weeks.  Now I can handle the others too.

I am 4 months out and my taste is still changing.

Have you tried the vitamin water zero?  It is very good.  I like the acia berry with pomegrante.  I buy it by 20 when on sale at walmart.  I also drink snapple ice tea or orange juice added crystals from crystal lite.  I also like Passon tea from Starbucks.  the tea bags are avaiable at Target too.

 I use this wonderful stuff called True Lemon/Lime/Orange. It's crystalized citrus (easier and more convenient than keeping fresh fruit in the house, plus it's portable) with less than a gram of carbs per packet. It's NOT sweetened at all and adds a little something to water so I can drink it (I drank tons of water pre-surgery but I can't handle it plain anymore and hate aspartame which is all Crystal Light had, yuck). Plus, I don't want sweet drinks all the time. Using lemon or lime wedges is a good suggestion, too, but I can throw these packets in my purse and have them with me no matter where I go. 

This is their website but it's available in stores. For whatever reason, it's in the same area as the splenda in my local stores, even though it's not a sweetener. http://www.truelemon.com/

I have exactly the same problem so I'm glad you posted this. I get so tired of plain water I actually feel nausous when I pick up the glass to drink more.  I can't drink the artificually sweetened drinks because 1) after taste and 2) it upsets my stomach.  Consequently, I'm not getting enough fluids and most of the time, I don't feel good. I think I've tried every thing that everyone above suggested. The Sobe are the worst, too sweet. The same with the vitamin waters. I haven't tried the Mio yet or just putting a lemon and some stevia in my water so I think I'll try those.  Good luck and let me know if you find something.
