Recommendations for flavoring other than Crystal Light?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any recommendations for Water flavorings other than Crystal Light? I'm trying to stay away from aspartame but haven't been able to find a good alternative. Before I was sleeved I used to drink crystal light regularly and now I'm not drinking nearly as much as before. I think it is because plain water bores me. I need some taste!

I've seen some great recommendations for Water flavored with fresh lemon slices, or cucumber with mint, or other flavors from real fruits/herbs. Might be delicious for summer sipping!

Here's a recipe link for cucumber water:

I use real lemons or limes. Cucumbers work well. Green tea is something that I keep in the fridge. Just about any dried fruit can be made into a tea. Mangos, apricots. I drop a few pieces of crystalized ginger in my green tea jar. Really good.

Try Dansani Water flavoring - it's sweetened with sucralose and so light and refreshing! I like pink lemonade, grape and pineapple coconut flavors the best. Also I'm on vacation in Kauai Hawaii right now and our hotel has their water jug filled with fresh fruits- pineapple, strawberry, kiwi, orange, and even some lemongrass. It is soooo yummy!

Ohhhh...that last link is just gorgeous! How appealing is that to see those beautiful fruits with mint leaves, etc...in the Water? When we eat out, we always just order water to save $$ on our bill & I ask for lemon & lime wedges so have already been drinking that but this summer when I grow my mint, I will add mint leaves to it too! Thank you for sharing!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
