I am almost 3 weeks post op and having trouble getting in all my water. I have found that I like decaf ice tea with a little splenda not sugar! Can this count toward my water?

Yes!! As can broth, sugar free jello, popsicles, etc....anything liquid you are allowed goes towards your water intake!
As long as it's decaf! So important... caffine decreases your water intake so you need to drink double. So just stick with decaf. :)
I was told by my Dr that caffeine slows healing and stimulates hunger, even decaf has caffeine. I had to stop all caffeine 30 days before surgery, but don't go by me check with your Dr.
