if youre having a problem drinking enough water...
should I be drinking gatorade or something like that every once and a while so that I don't get dehydrated? I've been getting some headaches latelly and I think i may need more fluids. Just wasn't sure if gatorade was the right choice since it has a lot of sugar.

Gatorade is fine!
I have trouble drinking water and buy decaf iced-tea mix (the powder). While it has a lot of sugar, my dr. said its better for me to drink SOMETHING than NOTHING.

I also hate water!! I have a very hard time with it! I like it frozen! I drink whatever I can. I also like Lemonade. I know it also has tons of sugar but its good!

i cant even drink water. i drink bottled water with a little bit of crystal lite mixed in, flavored seltzers, iced tea, and the occasional diet soda. drink whatever you can..doesnt have to be just water.

Re: if youre having a problem drinking enough water...
My ob and nurse are such water fanatics. Everytime I tell them a symptom or something its always drink more water! They want me to drink a gallon of water a day. They never suggested substituting water with crystal light, decaf green tea, nothing! Just water!  I'm so sick of it and I never get near a gallon anyway. I'm gonna start drinking decaf green tea soon, especially in the winter.

Re: if youre having a problem drinking enough water...
Water is the best (and purest) thing to drink but the most important thing is that you're getting hydrating fluids into you (read: caffeine dehydrates!). So...juice, gatorade, lemonade, decaffeinated sodas if you must, and tea and coffee in moderation are all going to get fluids into you and thats the most important thing!

Get the G2 Gatorade, it has less sugar if you have concerns about that. I usually just mix cranberry juice with water. It goes down much easier!

Also i forget besides lemonade, Fruit punch is always good. I get the tropicana one. No caffine, and it has vitamin C.

Be careful with gatorade, it has a lot of sodium

Mine wants me to drink a gallon a day too. But then at the next appointment, my ob told me she tried to do it one week, and couldn't, so she said its really more of a goal! lol gotta appreciate her honesty!

Re: if youre having a problem drinking enough water...
Try cutting anything you are drinking with water. I water down lemonade, juice and if I drank Gatorade I would water that down too. That way you are at least getting some water. The important thing is to stay hydrated.

Re: if youre having a problem drinking enough water...
I definitely don't get enough water. Like someone said, try adding water to a little lemonade or fruit punch - any juice. You also get water from fruits and vegetables - if you can still get watermelon and like it, that's a great source.
