crystal light vs water

I have a hard time from the start with palin water 3 yrs now since gastric bypass. so from the start I have used crystal light ie Walmart  store brand ..could this be making me gain weight back? I drink well over 64 oz a day tahnk you

Crystal Light might have 5 calories per serving. It is more likely that you are eating more calories than you need. There are lots of calorie trackers such as Lose It! And My Fitness Pal than can help you figure out how much you should be eating to lose weight.

As Jen said, you could guzzle Crystal Light all day long, and that alone wouldn't make you gain weight. Try weighing and logging your food really closely to see where the extra calories are coming from.

An extra 100 calories a day will add up to 10 pounds of weight gain in a year. And 100 calories a day is a really tiny amount of food.

On a side note... I could not stand the taste of water right out of surgery either, (tasted metally and gross) but figured out that if it was ice ice cold, it tasted better... So now, I carry a Bubba bottle with me full of ice and just add water to it constantly.  It will keep ice in it for over 24 hours!  So my water is ALWAYS cold... Have you tried that to increase just your plain water consumption.  But I do also agree with everyone else that your crystal light is probably not your culprit in this case... Could be something easy... even if something you always ate but they changed the nutritional values up... it can add up quick!

It could also e giving u headaches or " heart attacks"   no joke .  Try Stevia
