Hi Bryan!
I had surgery this past Monday as well ???? the crystal light flavors that I really enjoy are fruit punch and pink lemonade. I have been getting my fluids in with that, plain water, sugar free jello and sugar free pops. To get in my protein, I purchased a flavorless whey protein powder from GNC (the GNC brand) and I mix a scoop of that with a bottle of crystal light. It's not bad! It makes it sort of creamy-like. I also do the broths...I know they're not the tastiest, but I'm just dealing with it for now...I know it's only temporary. I hope this helps!
