Ive drank WM version of CL since '05. Havent drank real OJ since then. My dr. said its fine but like everything else pre and post ban...enjoy in moderation. WM sunrise orange is also 100% Vitamin C too n goes perfect with an occasional vodka too! :)

LOVE it!

Crystal light gave me nasty heartburn before surgery, but not anymore! Yeah! Love the fruit punch. But I have also read about the artificial sweetener making you crave more sweets, so I try to do plain Water too.

ya the"orange" flavored one gives me heartburn if I drink alot of it but like I said...enjoy in moderation and it's something to taste rather than plain old boring water! I like the Hawaian Punch SF Lemonberry Squeeze too! :)

My doctor says to drink nothing but Water. He's against any artificially sweetened drinks' date=' because they're shown to stimulate the sugar craving appetite center of the brain. [/quote']

I drink only Crystal Lite and the Walmart brand all day long. And yes sometimes I feel I get the urge for something sweet as I did before the band. I usually just drink another 16 oz bottle of a different variety that is sweeter like strawberry or berry and the urge goes away. With the added benefit of drinking the additional 16oz. of Water. It's a WIN WIN!

Not for me. I don't like Crystal light ice tea flavor. I used their fruit punch and lemonade often.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
