Default what do you drink?

I am a Mountain Dew freak, Ive been trying to stop drinking it because of my teeth but now Ill stop because of the caffiene. So what do you all drink durring the day?? I have no clue what to drink now

I hate water..it makes me sick to my stomache. Flavored water is even worse!! Im gunna try to learn to love it this pregnancy. ice cold is the way to go, and sip sip sip..any other idea for liking water??

Gatoraid(sp) pretty good but I bought low calorie stuff (didnt even read the bottle) and it is soooo gross! so Ill go find some other sport drinks. but they have a lot of sugar right?

Tea is worse than water, yuck!!

I know I am soooo picky and annoying when it comes to food. I have never had a sense of smell and I think this adds to my pickiness of food.

Id like to avoid pop, I loved Cherry Limeaid last pregnacy but it gave me the worst heart burn.

I too only drank mountain dew for years, started trying to quit also for my teeth over the summer but couldnt find anything that I liked as much as the mountain dew. Then after finding out I was pregnant I knew I had to give it up,.


I drink mostly water now and yea I hated water to but after a few weeks of forcing it down I got to the point that I actually wanted it. I also drink vitamin water when I want something with a flavor. It doesnt taste like flavored water more of a not so sweet koolaid taste. Relieve(Fruit punch) and defense(Rasberry apple) are my favs.

Oh and dont get the low cal stuff in vitamin water either, it is disgusting plus the normal stuff is only 50 cals anyhow and thats way less than mountain dew.

I've never been much for soda. Every now and then, I'll have one when I'm nauseous. It helps for some reason. I drink decaf black tea, water by the jug, and v8 fushion to help with veggies and fruit since I can't stand most of them. And I use to be a vegetarian. lol.

We get lemon-lime soda water. It cured my DF of his addiction to pop! We sometimes squirt in some lemon or lime juice to make the flavour stronger. That way there's nothing in it but some vitamin C and carbon dioxide, but with the lemon and/or lime juice it tastes strong enough to be pop. We drink about 10 liters of it a week between the two of us. The pounds are dropping and the caffeine jitters have stopped!

I prefer to drink just plain juice. I try to get the stuff with no sugar added. I hate plain water, though I do drink it at work because that's all I have available. I can't drink the flavored waters like Fruit2O anymore because they give me heartburn. Wierd how plain water with flavoring gives me heartburn. And then of course I do drink soda... can't get enough of it sometimes. I know it's bad to drink the stuff with caffeine but I just can't help myself... I need a boost when it's 4 pm and I'm ready to crash for the night! Especially tonight... I'll be drinking soda all night to stay awake till midnight.

It was soo hard to give up the diet coke, I hated water. But I don't even touch it, since it has sooo much caffiene and all sweetners in it! I am beginning to like water, and if I have a soda craving, I have a small glass of caffeiene free orange soda or root beer.
