What Is Your New Favorite Drink?



Recommended Posts

So, I live water...I really do. However, sometimes I want something else. Crystal Light is ok, but does anyone have any other suggestions? I used to be addicted to diet cokes. I'd have at least 3 Sonic sized Route 44s a day, and more can drinks in between those, so I'd really like to stay away from those. I'm worried if I had one I wouldn't stop. Any suggestions?

I love MIO. It's not as asidic is crystal light tends to be and they even have a sweet tea flavor which surprisingly tastes a lot like mcDonalds sweet tea! It's great and a nice change from the fruity type drinks.< /p>

I agree with the Mio approach. I'm really loving the lemon flavor. Note that carbonation is what makes sparkling Water sparkle... Mio, Crystal light, propel - all work for me.

I am liking tea a lot more. And Decaf skinny mochas and lattes: they have 10-15 grams of Protein and a reasonably low calorie hit.

I tried Mio and Crystal Light. It tastes fine but any of that sugar free Koolaid-type stuff goes right through me, I pee every 10 minutes.

I like the Oceanspray flavor packets. Kinda hard to find, but Kroger& Dillons carries them.

I live on Water..

shelly77

i also only drink Water too.. its the easiest thing for me to grab and chug, and i'm just used to the taste. at first i had trouble getting in my 64 oz. now i do great, have extra H20 too.

in my case - no problems w/water - or wanting to replace

iced tea is a good suggestion, and later maybe non-sweetened cocoa - stuff like that

good luck

I got hooked on 7Eleven's sugar free slurpees, particulary the cherry limeade!!! Then I start adding ice too it. Maybe hooked isn't accurate, ADDICTED is the truth! Lord help me, lol!!! But, give me some ice cold Water and my sleeve and I are content:)

I'm not sleeved yet but I've been instructed to drink as if I were. I agree with the Sobe Life Zero. I don't feel left out at convenience stores.

I've become a lover of loose tea. Have my own special brewing pot and enjoy ordering and trying new types. It takes time to make and prepare so I make it at night. Just the little ritual seems to stave off the late night munchies for me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
