I've drank Crystal Light lemonade for years. And was drinking it the day I returned from the hospital. Never had a problem with it. But don't get me started on sugar free Popsicles! Frankensleeve never liked those!

What don't you like about sugar free pops? I have one every day for my 'dessert' if you want to call it that

I drink about 80-100 oz a day 3 weeks after surgery and about 90% of what I drink is crystal light, but I only use one packet per gallon compared to the recommended two packets. It makes it taste not like Water but not too sweet.

I"m pre-op so I haven't hit that taste changing phenomenon.

I do like Crystal Light in most every flavor that I've tried.

I notice that there is a wide, wide range in sweetness in the various flavors. Their grape is awesome.....I really enjoy it.....but its much sweeter than other version. I loaded up this week when the local BiLo store had Crystal Light on sale. I looked like a Crystal Light fiend when I hit the checkout line. :P

I haven't had any taste changes at all. Don't know why. But I haven't tried much 'bad' yet. Had a bite of cake today. It was good. Bite of a donut it was good. I think I like salmon now. But nothing major.

I like sugar free pops. Frankensleeve didn't like them. Something about the artificial sweeter sent him into fits during those 1st weeks post-op. He grew to like them, but it was a rough trip. :-)

I like Grape, Cherry, strawberry,.... but always go back to Lemonade flavor.

This week I found Jolly Rancher sugar free drink mix. It comes in Watermelon, Cherry, and Green Apple.

They taste great. I would say they taste like their candy counterparts,

but I haven't eaten a Jolly Rancher candy in years.

Now if only they would make the grape flavor in sugar free powder.

I found the Jolly Rancher sodas in grape (years ago) and they taste sooooo good.

But I gave them up because of the sugar.

I"m pre-op so I haven't hit that taste changing phenomenon.

I just tried the crystal lite pure strawberry kiwi.... It has a really funny after taste. I don't suggest it. I'm pre op.

I bought the Jolley Rancher packets as well and they do indeed taste like the candy (from what I remember!). They're kind of fun.????

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
