I had it at about 3.5 months, in the airport, when I realized I hardly drank anything all day and thought it might hydrate me faster than water (I don't really know if that's true or not) but it was too many carbs for a regular drink and I became very gassy about 2 hours later and had to race to a bathroom 2ce after landing. Not sure if it was the coconut water or the flight since I get gas pains when flying, but not too interested in trying again anytime soon!

I only tried it once pre-op and did not like the taste. My tastes have changed but I have no desire to try it again.
I've looked at coconut waters but never had one. I know of the reported health benefits. While not "that" kind of coconut water this question prompted me to share one of my favorite bottled drinks....a coconut flavored beverage.
5 calories, not overly sweet, and a pinch of salty flavor. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like things like that - OMG I love this stuff! This brand has other 5 calorie flavors that don't have that pinch of salt. They're all good, but the Molokai Coconut is my all time favorite.

I prefer all my white liquids to be either heavy whipping cream, half and half or the occasional Baileys, if I'm feeling saucy.
Sounds good! I might have to give that a try.

That sounds good but I don't think I have seen it around here.

I've tried it and liked it. But too much sugar for me to drink it all the time.

Me too @MsVee ! But coconut water is 1-strange and 2- full of carbs. I started using koolaid and sweetening it with stevia and also fruit & herb infusions. I used to love water so much and find it just icky now. I'm dying for seltzer but TRYING to be compliant for another few weeks til I reach the 6 month mark. I've had it a few times, one long weekend that's almost all I drank because the water where I was was totally undrinkable, and looking back that's also when my stomach capacity increased. Not sure if it's connected, but that's what a lot of people say and it makes me nervous. Who knew drinking would be the biggest struggle for me from day one and still at 5.5 months.

Coconut water hasn't tasted good to me anytime I've tried it.
I've been enjoying trying out various infused water recipes from Pinterest. This isn't my account, but here's an entire board of them: http://www.pinterest.com/cupcakemomma512/be-healthy-infused-water-recipes/
I grow chocolate mint in my apartment kitchen window. A leaf or two is FANTASTIC in water.
