  • Putting lemon in my water has helped me a ton!  You could also do a slice of cucumber or add a little bit of juice.
  • I do...I just don't know which ones are ok.  I try to avoid things with fake sugar in them (such as crystal light).  Any recs on ones that don't have fake sugar?

  • Try flavoring your water with lemon.  Or, cut cucumber, mint, lime, lemon, or oranges and mix with water in a large pitcher.  Then, store it in the refrigerator for an hour or so.

    Cucumber water is my favorite!  It tastes so good and makes you feel like you are at a spa!

  • do you like iced tea?> You can make decaf - they have some really good fruit flavored ones. Then, add a slice of lemon if you'd like?
  • I use crystal light indv. packets.
  • The best thing I have done was using a large mug, filled with ice and then I pour about a 1/4 or 1/2 of a small bottle of organic orange juice and than fill the rest of the mug with water..you are getting way more water than juice, esp. once the ice melts.

  • I bought a bunch of Camelbak bottles with the bite valve. ?Its more like drinking out of a straw, so I tend to drink more anyway. ?I keep one at work, one by the bed and one in my purse to help remind me to drink water. ?
  • I had a hard time drinking in my 1st and part of 2nd tri... I got a water bottle with the oz's printed on it, and keep filling that up. At least I know how much I'm drinking and sometimes I make myself deals, Like ok...drink what's left of this 20oz and then you can ...whatever. GL, it's really important to drink water and I was not doing very well untill I started to get very bad charlie horses in my legs and BH... Water stops them both!!
  • try adding a True Lemon packet (www.truelemon.com). You should be able to find them at your grocery store, they also have True Orange and True Lime. No artificial sweeteners in them.

  • I am the same way, so I have been putting a pitcher of water in my fridge with apple slices in it.  Soooo good!  Gives it just a little apple flavoring to the water, but not the acid that adding lemon gives.  My heartburn is bad enough without adding to the disaster!

    Get a cool water bottle with a straw! There is something about a straw that makes me drink more water.

    Also, I have to set goals for myself. I'll make myself drink at least one bottle of water by 10 AM, another at lunch, and another by 3. 

     

    This.  I love Camelbaks.  They are a little expensive but has a straw and holds 750 ml.  I try to drink 3 of these a day and I set goals to achieve that.  It really helps me and I feel much better on the days that I get enough water.
