What regular drinks is everyone dirnking?
I personal have found very few things other than water that I can tolorate. Crystal Light is just absolutely aweful. Most flavored waters I've tried are too acidy tasting.... and I've tried many diet/light fruit punches and some are -ok- and some are just kinda bleh. I also tried some diet ice teas and some if they are cold aren't bad for a change in taste... but most leave a funky aftertaste in my mouth.
I'd do diet sodas but I was told they had to go completely flat.. and that takes WAY too long.....
So anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone out there actually drank a diet soda with carbination since surgery? Anything bad happen??? And what drinks do you all drink? Cause I'm getting a tad tired of water ALL the time.
I went to Wal-mart and got the immitation Crystal Lite and I absolutely love the Fruit Punch.... to me it taste like the real deal. I also got Orange which taste like Tang. The Crystal Lite if mixed right is very good.
I won't touch anything with sodium or carbonation because both my daughter and my niece who had the RNY gained 20 pounds after going back to Diet Coke and when they stopped it, they dropped the 20 pounds so I am never going back to that.
You can also have Diet Snapple but I don't care for that.

i guess im lucky cause i can handle oceanspray light cranberry and cran grape my doc told me not to worry about the sodium, tropicana makes a surger free lemonade,orangeade and a fruit punch that taste pretty good i tried a diet soda a while back and i will never do it again good luck .
I'm addicted to Crystal Light. I switch flavors- I started on the Lemonade or Orange, and now I'm going through a peach tea phase.
I tried a sip of soda and 1. it tasted SO sweet and gross and 2. The carbonation hurt! So no more soda for me.
What about just adding a slice of lemon or lime to your water?
I'm pretty much an iced tea girl. I have an iced tea maker and I always have Lipton Decaf tea around. I sweeten it with Sweet N Low or Splenda and I love it. I also drink water......and I love Market Pantry (Target Brand) Sugar free Strawberry lemonade. It's just their version of crystal light. I've also tried a few sips of diet sodas here and there----I don't like the way they make me feel...the carbonation is very uncomfortable. I stay away from those!
Anyway...good luck......I know it's frustrating!

I drink decaf iced tea with Splenda a lot. I also drink the Tropicana Sugar Free Fruit Punch and Orangeades. I actually use the Orangeade with the Nectar Fuzzy Navel for my protein shakes. Love them!!! I was drinking Sugar Free Kool-Aid but got sick of the kiddies laughing at my bright red tongue. lol I try to drink a lot of water bu****er gets old fast. I HATE Crystal Light so that got marked off my list early. Diet sodas? I've heard conversations at my surgeon's office and there's no way I'm going back to soda!
Good luck!!!
