Sick of Water? Water Enhancers Rock!



Recommended Posts

I purchased a couple Crystal Light Water enhancers to jazz up my water. I love them! A few drops, 5 calories, and BAM! Instant strawberry lemonade or some other great flavor.

They can easily be carried in a purse, backpack, briefcase (does anyone even carry a briefcase anymore?) - okay, a man purse. You get my point. There are several brands and flavors to chose from. I found them in the coffee aisle of my grocery store. Yum! Give them a shot! :)

My local health food store carries these http://sweetleaf.com/stevia-water-enhancer/

The raspberry lemonade is amazing, the peach mango is too sweet. They were $4.99 at my local store, which doesn't have the best prices. They are sweetened with stevia.

I avoided these kind of Water enhancers but I found since surgery, I really only want to drink Fiji or Smart Water plain, and tap water is a struggle. This enhancer is cheaper and better for the environment than drinking Fiji water all day.

I drink Vitamin Water Zero, they have lots of different flavors and are full of Vitamins. I cannot stomach plain Water since my bypass. Don't know why.

I also have lots of tiny 1 bottle powder mix by Crystal Lite . I put it in a water bottle, keep in the fridge and use when I need to drink. Nice change.

I have not tried the drops yet, maybe I will.

@@Madeleine Renee I've had the same experience with plain Water. Water used to be my favorite beverage, and I rarely ever drank sodas. Now, I can't tolerate plain water. It actually makes me nauseas. Weird. I've never been a Crystal Light or Vitamin water type person, but now I am!

Every day I take 1/4 to 1/2 of a New whey fruit Punch Protein bullet, pour it into my 20 oz water container, and add half a Crystal Light -- one of those tiny foil packs. That way I get Protein and water. I like the raspberry green tea and the strawberry flavors. They make the syrupy protein stuff palatable.

Great idea thinside. I also use Water flavorings and have done for years. I especially like a pina colada one I found in PA.

One more thing - hubby just got me a Yeti 20 oz. tumbler. OMGosh. This thing really is amazing. Stays cold all day - ice melts forever slowly if you like ice. Wirth the investment since all we drink is Water and need it to stay interesting!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
