Would drinking the Crystal Light count as your water?

According to my doc it is counted as your water. The broth that I found is College Inn and it was beef flavor and I loved it. One other thing I've been drinking vanilla whey Protein shakes and they are nasty!! I'm not going to waste it so I've been experimenting and found that if I take 6 to 8 oz of Powerade zero to my one scoop it tastes pretty good.

Yes, although many people like to tell you that you NEED to drink 6 - 8 glasses of Water a day that is not technically true. It is actually Fluid that you need. I hardly ever drink water except in summer when it is really hot. My drink of choice is tea, no sugar and with a dash of skim milk.

Thanks ladies, that is good to know. I also like iced tea with lemon that I brew myself, so that would count as Water too. Tamg, I will have to buy some College Inn broth, I have seen it at the store, thank you! I happen to like the Protein Shakes, I maybe the only one that like them.

I add cinamon to spruce it up a bit, ice & put it in the blender.

Well the shakes powder that I bought was from Walmart and it's nasty. Now the shakes from the docs office I liked but I went the cheaper route.

Short answer Yes, long answer kind of. Keep in mind the kidneys have to filter out everything you add to Water. I try to drink half plain water and half low cal. drinks.< /p>

      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!!
