I only get that feeling with the lemonade. The others go down just fine with no adverse feelings.

I love Krystal Light and all the other brands that have come out like it!! I haven't had that feeling that you are talking about though. Maybe you need to dilute it down a little bit. Some of them are too strong for me if you mix 1 packet to 1 bottle of Water. I use a bigger bottle or if using the 2 qt pack I add some more water to it.

I drink crystal light all the time and I've never had that problem. I don't like the lemonade or orange flavors though. I'm an iced tea person. I also found some lipton diet drink mixes also.

My favorite is lemonade and I have no problem with it. I also love the new Water Sensations which are colorless but delicious. Sorry, can't help....have no trouble downing a whole bottle of the Crystal Light.

Ariel, I have the same problem with Crystal Light regardless of how diluted it is. It also triggers cravings for sugar so I avoid it.

I found popping a couple frozen strawberries and blending with the lemonade Crystal Light made a huge difference. Otherwise, I find it too acidic.

I've put a box of the individual packets in my car for when we are on the road or running around, and I want something to drink. Everyone gets their sodas, and I get a bottle of Water and add my own flavors.

Have any of you tried the Wal-Mart version? At the supercenter I go to, it was not with the regular CL, so you may have to ask where it is.

The black cherry is the best ever! The brand name is Fulfill.

      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.
