I'm doing really great. I drink about 100 oz/day. However when I found out I had chronic kidney disease about 20+ yrs prior to my transplant, I started drinking water...lots of it. My drs feel this is probably one of the reasons I stayed off dialysis & transplant list for many years.
I try to drink all I can but some days I need a more flavored drink. I’ve tried adding lemons and limes but still not what I was looking for. I love tea but being a southern gal I like it sweet!! Thank you for reminding me to drink more water.
Have you tried Jordan's Skinny Mixes? They have a sugar free simple syrup that makes a decent sweet tea. I grew up in Texas (many years ago), and its not the same as the sweet sun tea that my neighbor used to make but its a close alternative. I also like several of their other flavors like the Meyer Raspberry Lemon. Just a little splash in my big water bottle sometimes makes a difference if I am finding myself bored of plain water.
I’ve always struggled with drinking enough water. I find if I drink it hot and sip it like tea throughout the day, I actually drink a lot more. I find warm beverages comforting and soothing, and during the winter here its a lot easier to drink something hot over something cold
@AliEm14 I definitely agree. My water is always room temperature unless it is hotter weather. In the Summer. I put in the fridge to give it a little chill

@MaryR that is awesome…. Prior to transplant I was not a fan of water but now we are buddies
Keep up the good work.
@MaryR thank you and the same to you

Hi, try crystal light. I like the wild strawberry 🍓 flavor.
@ Deb You got this. I love sweet tea also …. I spread my water throughout the day to get it all in
@Melsamm Tgat is a great idea
