What are you drinking?

Besides Water? I know we can have Crystal Light, power aid zero, etc.... But every flipping thing is fruit flavored! Ugh I hate fruity stuff and all the fruity drinks give me heartburn!

I'd kill for a huge diet Pepsi with a ton of ice and a lemon slice in it right now! I know I can't have it but I'm so thirsty for something that tastes good right now... :-(

no soda's havent had one for years. teas, Water flavored with real fruit, just slice it up or juice it and dilute it with Water.< /p>

Water is not as bad as we tell ourselves. You just drink a little as you go. 1 bottle is better than nothing, and you can train yourself to drink more. Often a sign of a real need to drink - dehydration - is that you do not want water.

I haven't had surgery yet. Saw a few posts that mentioned sugar free popsicles to help keep you hydrated. So I looked at a few stores today. Was hard to find sugar free. Am thinking Amazon or Bed Bath & Beyond may have some plastic popsicle molds where I can create my own sugar free recipes. Might be good w/frozen diet pepsi or frozen Decaf coffee if allowed on my post op diet. I did see some ice tea crystal light at grocery store w/no fruit. I also get tired of Fruit drinks. Hope you find something that works out great.

I have been able to find SF POPSICLES @ both my local store & at WAL-Mart.

I got sick of the sweet fruity stuff, too. I am now a big fan of Decaf herbal tea. So many varieties and good both hot or iced. A nice cold glass of milk hits the spot for me, too. As for diet Pepsi, I wonder if freezing some into a Popsicle would remove the carbonation and maybe satisfy your craving?

I was just thinking the other day man I could use something different to drink. I am doing Water, crystal light, Decaf tea or coffee. I don't crave soda as I haven't had one in 6 years. But man I would love an Arnold Palmer (ice tea with lemonade). But I would have to make my own as most come with caffeine and can't have caffeine.

I drink arrowhead Water . The purified water taste nasty . I drink a power aide zero cal drink when working out and a ISO pure green apple 40 gram of protien .. . My water is arrowhead like I said first but I make a game out of it and drink every 10-15 min I get the 20 oz waters , I seem to be able to finish them np where as the bigger ones take a while .
