Besides water? I know we can have Crystal Light, power aid zero, etc.... But every flipping thing is fruit flavored! Ugh I hate fruity stuff and all the fruity drinks give me heartburn!

I'd kill for a huge diet Pepsi with a ton of ice and a lemon slice in it right now! I know I can't have it but I'm so thirsty for something that tastes good right now... :-(

no soda's havent had one for years. teas, Water flavored with real fruit, just slice it up or juice it and dilute it with water.

Water is not as bad as we tell ourselves. You just drink a little as you go. 1 bottle is better than nothing, and you can train yourself to drink more. Often a sign of a real need to drink - dehydration - is that you do not want water.

I haven't had surgery yet. Saw a few posts that mentioned sugar free popsicles to help keep you hydrated. So I looked at a few stores today. Was hard to find sugar free. Am thinking Amazon or Bed Bath & Beyond may have some plastic popsicle molds where I can create my own sugar free recipes. Might be good w/frozen diet pepsi or frozen decaf coffee if allowed on my post op diet. I did see some ice tea crystal light at grocery store w/no fruit. I also get tired of Fruit drinks. Hope you find something that works out great.

I have been able to find SF POPSICLES @ both my local store & at WAL-Mart.

I got sick of the sweet fruity stuff, too. I am now a big fan of decaf herbal tea. So many varieties and good both hot or iced. A nice cold glass of milk hits the spot for me, too. As for diet Pepsi, I wonder if freezing some into a Popsicle would remove the carbonation and maybe satisfy your craving?

I was just thinking the other day man I could use something different to drink. I am doing water, crystal light, decaf tea or coffee. I don't crave soda as I haven't had one in 6 years. But man I would love an Arnold Palmer (ice tea with lemonade). But I would have to make my own as most come with caffeine and can't have caffeine.

I drink sf tea or peach tea those are my favorite. I like the Walmart name brand

I drink arrowhead water . The purified water taste nasty . I drink a power aide zero cal drink when working out and a ISO pure green apple 40 gram of protien .. . My water is arrowhead like I said first but I make a game out of it and drink every 10-15 min I get the 20 oz waters , I seem to be able to finish them np where as the bigger ones take a while .

• water

black coffee

protein shakes

black tea (Yorkshire gold!) with a little vanilla milk and some Splenda
