I was wondering what liquid did YOU like the first month? Also when did you go from sipping to being able to actually take drinks?
The last 3 days I have only been about getting in 54-60 oz of liquids in. Today I am just going to drink what has been going down, broth and warm tea so I can get all fluids in. If I have to do this for months I will but don't want to.
My main problem is I have never liked artificial sweeteners, the aftertaste and they leave a coating like in my mouth. This was one of the taste changes I was hoping for after surgery. Temps are a bit of a problem. Warm is well tolerated, refrigerated is ok, over ice is no good.
I am on the way to buy a filtered water pitcher today because I don't like water.
Also yesterday I tried to just grin and bear it, didn't work so swell, a lot of it ended coming back up!
