Does Crystal light or any other similar brand offer options without it? I realize how bad it is for you but I can't find any alternatives besides lemon Water and plain iced tea (which is delicious) and that gets boring after a while

I use MIO and love it. Tons of flavors and options to mix and match. Does not contain aspartame (that I can find anyway)

My dr. Told me to try and avoid those Water mixes mio disani etc. She said while they dont harm me calorie or carb or whatever wise that they tend to make u more hungry.. told me to try and drink plain water as much as possible

I can understand a doc saying that pure Water is the absolute best. However, I have yet to discover that MIO makes me hungry. Whether its pure water or flavor added, I feel replenished either way. I also use Gatorade G2 and Pedialyte.

I fill up a 32 ounce bottle almost to the top with Water and put in a splash of unsweetened cranberry juice (Trader Joe's has a good one that is not expensive) and a capful of aloe vera juice. It's a nice thirst-quenching drink and very healthy.

Yeah, I've never had any sugar cravings or hunger from aspartame.. At most a headache but I'm just worried because it's linked to certain cancers and stuff :/

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
