What are you drinking?

I found the "Crush" brand of Water flavors but I found some tasted too sweet even though they are sugar-free. I mix 1 grape powder to 3-4 bottles of Water, 1 strawberry between 3 bottles & the pineapple flavor between 2 bottles of water. Orange flavor is also 3 bottles of water. I just played around and added more water till I found the right concentration/dilution ratio for me.

I love unsweetened iced tea with a little sweetener

I like mixing the Crystal Light pink lemonade with unsweetened iced tea, it's like a half and half, but a little more on the tart side. One of my new fave concoctions is Crystal Light grape mixed with Crystal Light lemonade, it reminds me of my favorite Kool-aid flavor when I was a kid. Otherwise it's Powerade zero or Water with frozen fruit.< /p>

I drink coffee, tea and Water.

I add little diet lemonade or apple juice to my Water, and If I was out of those, I would add a small amount of cordial.

I can now guzzle water, and I like the slightly altered flavour with my additions to it.

The only Crystal Lite I can drink is Watermelon, strawberry, and Orange. It's not that sweet. V-8 is also good.

@@tenseintexas,

sugar-free sports drinks like Powerade Zero aren’t as sweet as Crystal Light and other juice drinks. What you can also do to make your drinks less sweet is use powder or drops, instead of buying ready-made drinks, and dilute them more than the directions say. That is, use more Water or less powder or fewer drops, and your drink will not be as sweet.

If you want a completely different option, you can always try for broth. If you are worried about sodium, go for low-sodium or low-salt versions.

I drink 80-120 oz of Water per day. Bought a thermos smart lid bottle that syncs to my phone so I don't even have to keep track. I also drink 20oz of black coffee in the AM

I am drinking probably 70 oz of Water a day.... Crystal light is so sweet is grosses me out kind of and I hate coffee and tea.... I am really missing my Coke Zero. Any great drink options I am overlooking??

You could change things up a bit and make infused Water. Pineapple/Mint, Lime/Strawberry, etc. I think they have cola flavored MiO drops but that sounds a little gross to me.

I like infused Water that I make myself, my current favorite is cucumber lime, or I use the Mio Vitamin drops in Blackberry Raspberry flavor. It's sweetened with stevia instead of sucralose, which I hate. They also have a Tropical Cherry flavor that I haven't tried but is stevia sweetened. I have no idea which Vitamins they claim to contain as I use a tiny amount because full strength is too sweet :-P

So many good ideas!

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but I drink diet green tea. It's delicious and boosts your metabolism!

      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.
