shellray06 0 Posted February 18, 2010 I was banded on January 18th. I was a Diet Mt. dew junkie and am missing my Dew badly. I am trying to behave but cannot stand plain Water and Crystal Lite is not my favorite either. I have discovered Powerade zero. It has no calories and I can drink 2-3 a day. Is this as good as drinking water (or close)? It tastes so good. Any thoughts?:thumbdown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whillow 0 Posted February 18, 2010 I dont see why it would be an issue - no calories, no sugar.. i would say it is just as good plus it has electrolytes what will help keep you hydrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abandnewday 0 Posted February 18, 2010 I have replaced my diet coke with Costco's KIirkland brand Vita-Rain (flavored Vitamin water). Zero cals/sugars/carbs plus it has Vitamins too boot!! Not really missing soda at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gbakerc 2 Posted February 18, 2010 minute maid lite lemonade. 5 calories. Tastes great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurseab24 0 Posted February 18, 2010 Oh gosh Vita-Rain. I sooo bought some of that and it was really good. I was drinking about two a day of them. All of a sudden I was having a really hard time sleeping, I couldn't fall asleep or stay asleep and I couldn't figure out why. Then it dawned on me, the Vita-rain. I checked the bottle, and I'll be darn that stuff has caffiene in it. I have never been good at handling caffeine. Anyway, it's good just be careful if your like me and caffeine LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reneek 1 Posted February 18, 2010 I am hooked on Sobe O calories. I love the apple. It has no calories no sodium no sugar and it is so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeweI 2 Posted February 18, 2010 My Doc actually suggested the Powerade. I think it is great that you found something you like and fits in the plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patsal 1 Posted February 18, 2010 I am totally adicted to the Powerade 0 grape flavor. I also love the Sobe 0, black and blueberry as well as yumberry pomegranite are my fav's, but I tried the fuji apple pear yesterday and it was really good as well. I didn't care for the strawberry kiwi though, but I have never liked strawberry kiwi flavored things too much. A bowl of strawberries and kiwi slices sure, but the mixture as a flavor doesn't work for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emjay 8 Posted February 18, 2010 minute maid lite lemonade. 5 calories. Tastes great. I just found this last week. I like the fact that when we go somewhere and pack a cooler, I can drink something from a can instead of always having to pack Water. LOVE IT! :thumbdown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoJo1 0 Posted February 18, 2010 I was a diet coke junkie before banding but was surprised to not crave it at all after surgery. I am slowly learning to like Water, but I went through all the other Vitamin waters, Powerade, etc and liked them all for awhile. Now I only like Lipton Diet Green tea. I buy the Kirkland brand too. It is a little different than the Lipton but still good. I am still working on the water though and am surprising myself how much I am actually liking it...... Cheers!!!
