Vitamin Water Zero

I had my first fill appointment yesterday and the bariatric nurse was asking about my Fluid intake. I told her a drink about 3-4 20oz bottles of Vitamin zero Water per day.

She had a fit! She told me I needed to drink plain water and if I didn't like plain water to add a packet of crystal light to it. I told her that doesn't make sense? Why is water with crystal light (with artifical sweetners and colors, etc.) be better than VW0 that has all natural sweetners, no art colors and lots of Vitamins?

She stood her ground and I digressed but did leave the office thinking she is an airhead!

I like the FUZE slenderize. Lots of flavors and only 5 to 10 calories per serving. My bariatric dietician said anything less than 30 calories per serving was fine.

but I just drink them if I'm in public and want something flavorful.

I was drinking this "Bonafont" Jamaica flavored water until I found out it was sweetened with sugar and contained 50 cal for 8 oz and 12 carbs...it was delish but I don't drink it anymore guess it's back to good old Crystal lite..That could be why I haven't been losing weight but just maintaining huh?

I just got the Powerade zero, it's yum.

I am allergic to crystal light and don't care much for the Vitamin Water. Plain water is just boring, so I like the powerade zero's to change it up here and there.

I buy the 32 ounce ones and only drink one or two a week. I like to freeze them and have an icy slushy treat.
