I used to hate water and all of my daily liquids were Crystal Light, but recently I've gone back to water and I hardly ever touch my flavoured stuff. I have a couple of cases of Diet Snapple which I love, and occasionally I'll have a diet Nestea or something. I loooove iced tea!

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 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.

Ya I got a new puppy recently so I'm cleaning house more so that's good excersize.. as well as starting back school and I also went to one of my boyfriend's classes yesterday and had to walk about (at least) a mile and then went up 3 flights of stairs (then had to go down the 3 flights and walk about half a mile after class lol). I also like to window shop and walk around that way (though the doctor says window shopping/walking doesn't count either x_X). As for the foods I eat, I usually have protein bullets (the 25 or 42).. and I usually have more bready things than I should but I am careful not to over do it. I do a lot of shrimp, hamberger meat (I always strainned my meat even before surgery so that takes our most the fat left when cooked), I have some deli meat but I'm growing tired of it... I eat a lot of cheese products and soups... Tacos I do some too. I mostly am a meat/cheese eater but I HATE cottage cheese a LOT. Chicken didn't agree with me from the start so I'm scared to eat it now... and turkey is a little dry. Lamb and Veal my doctor suggested but it caused dumping... so I'm left with only a few options sadly. I did eat a LOT of catfish when I was still with my mom post surgery but I haven't cooked it much here (I got some frozen in the freezer though). I have a ton of sugar free jello, ice creams, etc... I was never a big sweet eater but I like it once in a while. I miss fruit the most and I usually do fruit with those nasty protien bullets to help with the taste. Supplements are a big issue with me... cause my doctor wants me to take 2 multi vits., 3 calciums (which I can't take when I take the multi or any other vit.), 800-1000mg Bioten (which is two pills all together at once), an iron supplement with a vit C pill, plus all my presciption, and a B-12 every week. I find myself forgetting some pills still or not really forget, but just don't have enough time in the day to down everything they want me to down. I notice some of you had to take some supplements and listed what you took... and it doesn't seem as much as what my doctor is requiering of me. Is what he's requiering normal?
