Tssiemer1 549 Posted September 22, 2015 There's not many out there. Sometimes at a restaurant when I don't want Water, I can get Light Pink Lemonade but what else is there? Unsweetened tea I guess. Is it weird if I get a water and add Crystal Light to it? What do you drink when you don't want water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGAnn2014 12,992 Posted September 22, 2015 Uh ... post-op you don't drink with meals. In restaurants I just order Water and then don't drink it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CANDI254 31 Posted September 22, 2015 @Tssiemer1 WHEN I GO OUT I WILL TAKE A PACK OF CYRSTAL LIGHT WITH ME AND ADD IT TO THE Water. IVE NEVER HAD ANYONE LOOK AT ME FUNNY OR SAY ANYTHING. iVE ALSO SEEN A LADY I WORK WITH ORDER Water AND ABOUT 6 LEMON PIECES ADD SPLENDA AND MAKE HER OWN VERSION OF LEMONAID . I DO NOT DRINK WHILE I EAT BUT I DO GO TO RESTAURANTS AND NOT EAT ONLY DRINK. ( LIKE WHEN OTHERS ARE HUNGRY BUT I AM NOT. ) AND ITS NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING OTHER THAN WATER TO DRINK.

Tssiemer1 549 Posted September 22, 2015 Sorry I was not clear. I go out with my friends or co workers and have a Protein Shake before and order nothing at all. I'm pre op. Those Protein Shakes make me very thirsty though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krista132 213 Posted September 22, 2015 I like Crystal Light but most times just drink Water. I cut out all caffeine too so don't do tea or coffee.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted September 22, 2015 I don't drink when I eat...ever. I still wait the 30 mins before and after BUT when I do drink anything it's always Water with flavor drops added or coffee. That's It. I'm boring. Oh and sometimes sugarless tea. not much help huh?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindyw41 761 Posted September 22, 2015 I love lemon Water but if I didn't I would bring my own drink and ask for a glass of ice. My favorite flavored water is sparkling ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted September 23, 2015 @@Veronica_mm I drink fully caffeinated coffee, but you should check with your own medical team for their instructions. There is no wls-wide standard advice when it comes to coffee and tea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JellyBellyNoMore 58 Posted September 23, 2015 I see nothing wrong with adding crystal light to your drink. I carry mine in my purse at all times. If anyone questions you just explain. I am sure they would understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
