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.

      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.
