I had crystal light today for the first time since my surgery. I had the raspberry lemonade flavor. I had maybe 1/4 the bottle and then I started to get really hot and my stomach started to bother me and I had to run to the bathroom. What happened? Was sugar free. My surgery was nov 2nd 2012.

I had rny on nov 5 th, crystal light and any other kind of tea seem to get my intestines going, having had a slow bowel anyway, they've really helped me stay regular, not sure if this helps at all, but I've shared the experience xoxo

Hmmm... Not sure. I have crystal light all the time & no problems with it. I'm sorry . Maybe you drank it to fast? sips were too big?

I'm preop, but I have IBS and artificial sweetener does this to me. So much so that I can not do chewable vitamins.< /p>

I haven't been able to handle Crystal light either. The only thing I found that I can drink and like is sugar free Hawaiian Punch singles to Go. The fruit Juicy Red Flavor. I got some Grape flavor and for some reason that made my stomach upset. I think with the Crstal light for me it's the citrus in it.

My mom said that it may be the citrus in it. I used to love crystal light raspberry lemonade. I hope I will again some day.

I used to love crystal light as well but have found since surgery it is just too sweet for me. My NUT said tastes would change after surgery.. Bummer though. I have about 6 boxes of the packets!

I have 4 boxes of 10. I am just going to give them to my mom. Lol. I tried the propel in the packets to and I didn't like them much either.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
