What are you drinking?



Recommended Posts

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.

I love unsweetened iced tea with a little sweetener

I like mixing the Crystal Light pink lemonade with unsweetened iced tea, it's like a half and half, but a little more on the tart side. One of my new fave concoctions is Crystal Light grape mixed with Crystal Light lemonade, it reminds me of my favorite Kool-aid flavor when I was a kid. Otherwise it's Powerade zero or Water with frozen fruit.< /p>

I drink coffee, tea and Water.

I add little diet lemonade or apple juice to my Water, and If I was out of those, I would add a small amount of cordial.

I can now guzzle water, and I like the slightly altered flavour with my additions to it.

The only Crystal Lite I can drink is Watermelon, strawberry, and Orange. It's not that sweet. V-8 is also good.

@@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, instead of buying ready-made drinks, and dilute them more than the directions say. That is, use more Water or less powder or fewer drops, and your drink will not be as sweet.

If you want a completely different option, you can always try for broth. If you are worried about sodium, go for low-sodium or low-salt versions.

I drink 80-120 oz of Water per day. Bought a thermos smart lid bottle that syncs to my phone so I don't even have to keep track. I also drink 20oz of black coffee in the AM

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??

You could change things up a bit and make infused Water. Pineapple/Mint, Lime/Strawberry, etc. I think they have cola flavored MiO drops but that sounds a little gross to me.

I like infused Water that I make myself, my current favorite is cucumber lime, or I use the Mio Vitamin drops in Blackberry Raspberry flavor. It's sweetened with stevia instead of sucralose, which I hate. They also have a Tropical Cherry flavor that I haven't tried but is stevia sweetened. I have no idea which Vitamins they claim to contain as I use a tiny amount because full strength is too sweet :-P

So many good ideas!

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but I drink diet green tea. It's delicious and boosts your metabolism!

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
