Hey everyone! I absolutely hate the taste of Water, so i use crystal light. Is it ok to mix it in with my water everyday or should i take breaks from it? If not any advice to make it taste better? Thanks in advance for your support. [=

If that is what it takes...do it. I only like Water when it is ice cold and it doesnt stay that way when we can only take sips. I have about 10 different flavors of crystal light so I dont get tired of one flavor.

My doc told me I could use Propel as well.. I HATE crystal light!! I don't like the aspertame flavor or after taste it has. Propel grape is my favorite but all of them are good =)

I hate Water tooooo!!!! and my liquids have to be ice cold, i cant do warm or hot! I use flavoring stuff, or drink low cal G2, 0cal Sobe Lifewater, bai5 (0sugars/carbs/5cal anti oxidant drink from 7-11), etc. throw em in the freezer, or in a blender with some ice to make a slushy, and am going to try putting some in ice cube trays with a tooth pick. Any way you can get your liquids in....

I also only use 1/2 of a packet, it seems too sweet if I use the whole packet. I also have tried the Wal-Mart brand of the packets...they are good too, and cheaper!

Walmart brand is what i use too, crystal light is not cheap enough for me lol. I use two packets for my entire 64 oz. I have a big Water bottle that can hold my entire Water intake.

Sobe Lifewater 0 calories still has carbohydrates in it, so I was told not to drink it. Propel Zero has 0 carbohydrates so it's probably a better choice. Black Cherry is pretty good as is Cranberry Lime.

When you have to sip slowly. a trick for keeping your Water icy cold or hot is to use a well-insulated travel mug as a pitcher and a teeny cup (shot glass works well) as your drinking cup. Just keep refilling the small cup as you sip. The Contigo cups do a good job of keeping liquids warm/cold.

I make a 2 gallon jug of Crystal Light Decaf Tea mixed with the CL Lemonade. I drink 2 glasses of that a day, then I still get in 2-3 bottles of ice Water. I don't get my daily calories in, is my big issue. I am 3.5 months out, and I only get about 500 calories a day, because I simply am never hungry, and I can't force myself to eat. So, I basically live off water, CL, and Unjury.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
