    What's wrong with good, old fashioned water? I love it! I have noticed though, that post-op, it has to be ICE cold (with ice literally floating in it) for me to drink it. Anything any warmer than that

    @@tenseintexas, sugar-free sports drinks like Powerade Zero aren’t as sweet as Crystal Light and other juice drinks. What you can also do to make your drinks less sweet is use powder or drops, inste

What's wrong with good, old fashioned water? I love it! I have noticed though, that post-op, it has to be ICE cold (with ice literally floating in it) for me to drink it. Anything any warmer than that sits very heavy in my stomach, unless it's an actual hot beverage, like coffee or tea.

I am drinking probably 70 oz of water a day.... Crystal light is so sweet is grosses me out kind of and I hate coffee and tea.... I am really missing my Coke Zero. Any great drink options I am overlooking??

My husband loves the sweet Peach Tea Crystal Light, gag! I make it half the strength of his, but discovered Dasani sugar free drops, and with a tiny squirt of Coconut Pineapple, loving it.

I Love Diet Snapple Lemon Tea

Ice water is the ticket for me !!!!!!!

Funny, I have a hard time with ice water or very cold drinks. Has to be room temperature.

I love water and sugar free iced tea from McDonald's and I add Splenda and lemon

I was a gallon a day coke zero addict for five years. I swapped, per my nutritionist advice, to Crystal light lemonade with great success. He said the tart flavor satisfies the "bite" of coke zero I the tongue. So far so good

My tastes changed and I can't drink plain Water anymore...Lately I've been drinking Vitamin Water Zero (Acai-Blue berry-Pomegranate is my fave) I tried the add ins but so far they all give me even worse indigestion. I'm hoping that goes away.

Water is only my friend 1/2 the time and that's HUGE progress at three years out. For my first two, water didn't work at all.

I do drink Coke Zero, but with my doctor's permission and I am over 3 years out.

I drank Gatorade mixed with water (I hate g2), crystal light, iced coffee...

I found the "Crush" brand of Water flavors but I found some tasted too sweet even though they are sugar-free. I mix 1 grape powder to 3-4 bottles of water, 1 strawberry between 3 bottles & the pineapple flavor between 2 bottles of water. Orange flavor is also 3 bottles of water. I just played around and added more water till I found the right concentration/dilution ratio for me.
