I've drank Crystal Light lemonade for years. And was drinking it the day I returned from the hospital. Never had a problem with it. But don't get me started on sugar free Popsicles! Frankensleeve never liked those!

What don't you like about sugar free pops? I have one every day for my 'dessert' if you want to call it that

I drink about 80-100 oz a day 3 weeks after surgery and about 90% of what I drink is crystal light, but I only use one packet per gallon compared to the recommended two packets. It makes it taste not like Water but not too sweet.

I"m pre-op so I haven't hit that taste changing phenomenon.

I do like Crystal Light in most every flavor that I've tried.

I notice that there is a wide, wide range in sweetness in the various flavors. Their grape is awesome.....I really enjoy it.....but its much sweeter than other version. I loaded up this week when the local BiLo store had Crystal Light on sale. I looked like a Crystal Light fiend when I hit the checkout line. :P

I haven't had any taste changes at all. Don't know why. But I haven't tried much 'bad' yet. Had a bite of cake today. It was good. Bite of a donut it was good. I think I like salmon now. But nothing major.

I like sugar free pops. Frankensleeve didn't like them. Something about the artificial sweeter sent him into fits during those 1st weeks post-op. He grew to like them, but it was a rough trip. :-)

I like Grape, Cherry, strawberry,.... but always go back to Lemonade flavor.

This week I found Jolly Rancher sugar free drink mix. It comes in Watermelon, Cherry, and Green Apple.

They taste great. I would say they taste like their candy counterparts,

but I haven't eaten a Jolly Rancher candy in years.

Now if only they would make the grape flavor in sugar free powder.

I found the Jolly Rancher sodas in grape (years ago) and they taste sooooo good.

But I gave them up because of the sugar.

I"m pre-op so I haven't hit that taste changing phenomenon.

I just tried the crystal lite pure strawberry kiwi.... It has a really funny after taste. I don't suggest it. I'm pre op.

I bought the Jolley Rancher packets as well and they do indeed taste like the candy (from what I remember!). They're kind of fun.????

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
