Need Advice!!!!!!!!!!

I am 4 1/2 months post op and I have lost 70lbs! Yay for ME! Here is my problem. I don't get in enough liquids. I don't drink coffee or tea, I am getting sick of water, getting board of Crystal Light lemonade, LOVE some of the light juices (too many wasted calories and carbs) and I don't know what else to do. Anyone else in the same situation? What can I do? What can I drink? HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!

Hey love, Trust me I feel you. Try other CL flavors. I also drink sugar free koolaide or 1% milk- bu****er is our friend. I also have an occational SF ice tea w/ splenda. Our selection is not as large when going by the rules. We just have to make the best of it. Protein drinks are always another option. Happy Loosing..............................

Thanks for trying! I will have to try the SF Koolaide!

I like the pre-mixed Crystal Lights. I know they come in Rasberry Ice, Strawberry Kiwi and others. I alos like the Fruit 2-O. I comes in tons of flavors. I like the grape and rasperry the *******so get the little packets of iced tea that you sprinkle in your bottled water. I think they're a bit strong, but if you put them in a 20 or 24 oz. bottle they taste better than in a 16 oz like it calls for. Many companies have the decaffinated if you'r concerned about that. good luck. I have the same problem, but it's because I'm a music teacher and I am sinign and working with childrena ll day, and I can't be drinking when I 'm singing and teaching!!! I sip when I can, but before you know it, the day has gone!! I try to get 8 oz of Crystal Light mixed with my Up-Cal D powder in themorning, then I mix one and ahalf scoops of protein powder 9 Nectar Verry Berry Cherry) in a sports bottle with 16 oz. and ice cubes and sip on that after breakfast. That way I amd getting 30g of protein and some water as well. I drink a bottle or 2 of Aquafina during the day, so that gives me 36 more ounces. My trouble is after that. I just can't get any more in. Let me know if you find something you like. Heather lap RNY 6/13/05 297h/238s/182.5c/125g

Thanks, I will give it all a try!

Oh yeah and I can't drink the protein drinks because they make me sick!

I drink wal-mart sugar-free peach iced tea. No sugar or calories. It works great for me! I can drink it all day long. I have trouble with jus****er. If I don't put this peach tea in the water, I will use lots of fresh lime slices. Have you tried any of these?

Love Wal-Mart's own brand of SF drinks. I used to drink the lemonade all the time but I have gotten sick of it. I am just blah w/ the whole drinking business! Thanks for the advice though!
