I can't do mio or crystal light my tummy doesn't agree (even prior to surgery). I do however love love love Vitamin Water zero and its made with stevia which is natural sugar and better for you. I have to fight my kids off them they even love them ! :)

I drink Crystal Light Lemon/Iced Tea...LOTS of it. I also drink iced Water, but like many of you have already said, its tough to drink in the cold weather. I have been slacking big-time on the liquid intake. That is my resolution:drink LOTS more!

Thanks for the info!! I can't drink plain Water either and I live by MIO. My favorite flavor is Mango Peach and I end up buying it online at Amazon because I can't find it here in the stores.

Crystal light has a really good one too. Love mango. It's liquid just like Mio.

Dasani also makes the flavor drops for your Water now. Strawberry/kiwi is my favorite!!!

It's also by the crystal light at wal-mart.

Yeah, me too. I like the pineapple/coconut flavor from Desani. I have tried a lot of different Water enhancers such as Mio, crystal light, propel and ocean spray. Behind Desani, ocean spray and propel are good. Crystal light and Mio both give me a weird taste and feeling in throat and mouth after drinking the all day so I tend to stay away from them unless I do not have anything else. I am also finding I can drink tap water again without extra flavor. It no longer taste metallic or weird tasting. This is good as we have pretty decent water and I can save some money by just drinking the tap water without flavor.

Powerade Zero is good and has electrolytes. Crystal Light Pure (with stevia) is good for bottled Water but has 15 calories per serving.

Me too, I couldn't drink tap Water before surgery but now I can. I can only drink it out of a Styrofoam cup though, It is so amazing how your taste buds change after your surgery:)

      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.
