Hi everyone,

So in about a month, I'm going to the clinic to get a sonogram of my ovaries, and they gave me the instruction to drink A LOT of water (16 oz an hour before, and 16 oz 30 mins before) and to not urinate. The problem is, ever since a child, I do NOT drink water. I absolutely hate it, and no matter how much I try, I just can't get myself to even drink a cup of water. My question is, do I HAVE to drink plain water, or can I put something in my water? Specifically this:

Crystal Light. I've never tasted them but I was wondering If adding that to the water would affect anything in any way...

Thanks in advance!

I really don't have any idea about if adding anything to the water will make a difference (but I don't think you should because otherwise they would have told you to drink 16 oz of liquid) but Crystal Light is really bad for you. It contains Splenda which I've heard is a carcinogen.

Sorry for the links, haha. The first is about the dangers of splenda, and the second is about water and sonograms.

It's also unhealthy to not drink water.

Give water a chance! Haha, I used to hate it, too. Try bottled water if you don't like the taste of tap water. Put a little lemon in it, or lime, or ice.
