Has Anyone tried the MIO Water enhancing drops??? I have and love them my favorite is the strawberry Watermelon, the fruit Punch makes me thirsty but they are a great alternative to Crystal Light it easier for me to tote that around than 100 little packets of crystal light.

tried them- hated all the ones i tried- made me drink 3 x more than i normally would- the artificial sweetener is not good for you. According to my dietician neither is crystal light- when I need something other than Water i sprinkle a little crystal light and if I already have a pitcher made I dilute it 1/2 and 1/2 water.... helps to kill the "flavor" craving and fills you up better.

I tried the MIO fruit Punch and won't be back. The packaging in no way regulates what a "squeeze" is, so you're left sweetening to your judgment. While some may view that as a plus, I view it as a minus. With packets, everything is pre-measured for me. It's too bad there isn't a liquid alternative that is appropriately measured to take the guesswork out.

I did like the Fruit Punch flavor.

Hate the artificial sweetener taste. I'm gonna have to just remain accustomed to drinking pure Water cause I cant stand the taste of artificial sweeteners, and i find that if I force myself to drink "diet" beverages, I'm almost guaranteed to suffer from a headache soon after. :(

I totally agree with Jimmy James - I don't like the fact that I don't know how much to put in there...and have to test it five times before I get the perfect amount. I'm already indecisive enough without having to measure my Mio!

LML32937, when the Mio first came out my friend and I were in Sam's and we tasted the Mio and it was ok, but I looked and it had aspartame in it and told them that I would have bought it if it had had Splenda instead of the aspartame. Now I see that the Mio has switched to Splenda. Crystal Light also has aspartame and I won't drink it, but if you tried Mio when it had aspartame you might want to try it again.

I love Mio drops! My preferences are the strawberry Watermelon and the Orange Tangerine. Yummy!

You can get crystal lite called "Pure" and it's sweetened with Stevia. I won't use anything with aspertame either.

I love it and I love the convenience of it as well - it isn't as messy as the powders. I wish Crystal Light would do a liquid form too, but no luck so far. The Mio Black Cherry is my favorite and it's one of the Energy ones. It gives me a little nudge when I'm dragging and doesn't make me feel too hyper.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
