"South Beach Living on the go" Drink mix

[Laurinda 1]

I have found something very, very tasty and I have not seen it anywhere here on the board. Please don't get me wrong,it may be mentioned here, I just haven't seen it.

"South Beach Living on the go" It's the little packets you add to Water to flavor em. I really like these best because they are made to go in a 16.9 bottle, not 20 ( I buy water by the case and it always seems to be 16.9) It has an awesome taste (I am drinking Strawberry/Banana right now) and it has Protein (this flavor has 3 gm) granted it's not a ton but it's a bonus when ya gotta get your water in daily! ~L~ :biggrin:

I have seen those also but wasnt sure if I should buy it or not. I liked that it is suppose to help with appetite. Have you felt any difference?

Special K has them too and they have 5 grms Protein - also you can buy clear Liquid Protein that has 15 grms protein 70 calories and taste good to ..

bariatic advantage - I love the peach mango and grape.

I have seen the Special K Water, do they come in packets also or just pre-bottled? Bariatic advantage sounds intetesting too! TY

As for being hungry Monica, I am sure it is the Protein that helps with that but I have yet to be hungry since having my band on. I am sure it's coming

Thank-You ma'am !

I am going to go Oprah on you even thought Ma'am is a sign of respect - us 50 yrs olds don't think of ourselves as old (you know the new 30's) we think of women our MOTHERS AGE as Ma'am....

But you are welcome :biggrin:

Laurinda,

I think he is the greatest!!! You live in Jax? I'm just over the line in GA. How are you doing???

[Laurinda 1]

Howdy Teresa! I do live in Jax. I really,really like Dr. Chappano. He has such good bedside manner and wit! I go back and see him Thursday for my one week check -up. Gosh one week? Is that all? I went back to work today,half day. I feel pretty good but a little sore and still so tired. But One day at a time I reckon! Hope all is going well for you!

I picked up the tropical flavor to try, so I'll update with the results!

Hey Laurinda,

I' m doing great... I'm glad you are doing well, just hang in there and don't over do it.. Your energy level will begin to rise, just give it some time. Are you going to the support group meeting Thursday night?

Back with a review of the tropical flavor:

Not horrendous, but not what I'd like to drink every day, honestly. Now, take into account that I'm pretty darn sensitive to the taste of artificial sweeteners. This stuff is SWEET. Way, way too sweet for me. The fruity flavor otherwise isn't terrible. It's not got as strong an "artificial sweetener" flavor to it as it could have, since it's sweetened with aspartame instead of Splenda, but still very much oversweetened. I might be able to drink it if I dilute it, maybe put 1/2 packet in instead of 1 packet per bottle. But then it would only be worth 3 grams of Protein per 32 ounces, so I'm not sure that's worth the price of a box of 7 packets. BUT, if you can't drink regular, unflavored Water and you like drinks like Crystal Lite, you'd probably love this stuff. Personally, I've drunk about 1/4 bottle of it, and I'm about to pour the rest out and get some plain Water.< /p>
