Does Crystal Light count as water?



Recommended Posts

Yes. Or it did for me. For some reason I lost my love affair for Water after banding. I drank only flavored water. I bet I could count on both hands how many glasses of H 2 O I have had this past year.

Yew betcha it does!! And thank goodness for that. I never drank Water before and now I drink 64 oz. a day. Lemonade is my favorite. I put it in the freezer and let it get all slushy. What a treat!!

ahyup! Some folks simply will not drink Water, I see this in the ER all the time. Crystal light or your store brand added to water counts as water input. I think Crystal light makes a super hydration mix now...

I've discovered that Crystal Light (and lots of other brands) are way too sweet for me. So for a long time I didn't drink them. But now they have those "single serving" envelopes, and when I add them to 32 oz of Water it's PERFECT. My favorite is the Wild strawberry with added caffeine. :eyebrows:

The new fruit Punch flavor is great - but it is a little sweet. I add a bit more Water to tone it down. Good stuff though. And the Sunrise "Classic Orange" crystal light tastes like Tang to me. Good for an AM pick-me-up.

You know I was drinking a lot of the fruit punch too and was getting a lot of headaches. I stopped drinking so much of it and the headaches are gone. I wonder what it is about the fruit punch?

Its probably the Artificial sweetener in it .

I cant drink any of the crystal light type drinks or anything similar to it.

Even sweet tea or anything w/ splenda, ect , I have chronic Migraines and the artificial sweeteners are horrid on my head. There is a sweetener my nutritionist told me about called Stevia . I have not tried it yet but I plan to its all natural and is suppose to work well . So i plan on getting it my next trip to the store. You might want to try that. Someone told me to try squeezing lemons and using stevia to make lemonade. The artificial stuff i just cant handle. Hope that helps

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
