It wasn't GOOD but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. My hospital says not to mix it with sugary drinks or ice; I've seen those recommended. Use a straw so you don't taste it as much.
I had juice, gatorade, lots of hot tea with plenty of sugar (that was the thing that helped the most), broth, ,green jello and clear gummi bears (which I don't think every place allows).
Other tip, my instructions said to use ointment and baby wipes to decrease soreness. I think diaper cream (A&D ointment) probably is better than vaseline which I used.
The only bad thing is I don't know how long it will take me to try lemonade again. Right now it sounds terrible.

I wonder if flavored iced teas are on the list. Dunkin Donuts can make coconut iced tea with syrups
I know I keep bringing it but what a **** show in 2 weeks. Prep, 3 hour surgery and staying in the hospital
