I can't drink plain water any more. I've been drinking so much water, the thought of more is making me ill. Anyone drinking anything fun (non-alc) that they want to suggest?
I gave up coffee in the morning and have been having hot chocolate instead. Juice has been my nighttime beverage of choice, cut in half with water. I'll pour a half glass of grape juice then add the rest water. And Gatorade or Trader Joe's Electrolite water.

When I get up, I fill a glass with ice and then pour in some juice. By the time I'm ready to eat (the last thing that I do), then the ice has some what melted.
Durring the day I try to do water, but like you its not going down very easily. It is really weird because I'm usually a big water drinker.
At dinner I do a glass of milk.
At some point in the day I either do decaf Peach/Ginger tea, low cal gatorade, ginger ale or sparkling water with some juice added in.
I'm having a rough time with water, which stinks because it is the only thing I drank before being pregnant. If I have more than 5 or 6 sips of water then I vomit. It's better if it's super cold and also better if I mix it with something. So, I've been doing 3/4 water and 1/4 cranberry juice or tea. Forget trying to drink if I've eaten anything recently.
Coconut Water! The flavored ones by Zico have the least amount of sugar and definitely leave me feeling quenched. I have a case on auto-order through Amazon every month so it keeps the cost down.
Water with lots of ice (I have a 32 oz tervis tumbler that I fill with ice, pour water over the top, drink, and refill all day!)
When I'm sick of water I've been loving the G2 gatorades. A lot less sugar (and less of that sticky sweet taste) than regular Gatorades. I had a pomegranite something flavored one this weekend (it was bright blue) and I loved it!
I can only handle so much water too... I've been drinking Simply Lemonade, diluted with water since it's pretty tart, and I've also been drinking OJ, and to make it go further without upsetting my stomach (which OJ does in large qtys for me), I mix it with some peach sparkling water. Surprisingly super delicious!
And, I sometimes mix OJ with Diet 7-up as well - I used to do that as a kid and loved it so I tried it again and again, also surprisingly delicious!
Every night I drink a glass of milk too, but I LOVE milk. In the morning with my cereal (I eat it from a paper cup at work - I pour the milk and take it to my desk where I keep my cereal), I make sure to pour extras that I drink when I'm done... like I said, I love milk!

Can you drink chocolate soy milk? It's so refreshing!
OP--I've been craving juice a lot lately, but I also drink a lot of water. Water tastes really good too.
I've been drinking lots of ice water. I have been slicing up lemons to put in it to mix it up a bit.
