What's the verdict on flavored waters?

Lately I've been drinking Aquafina FlavorSplash (Citrus Blend flavor).   It has no sugar (Splenda maybe?).  And no calories.  I've tried Propel in the past but didn't like any of their flavors that much.  Any issues compared to non-flavored bottled water? MLF

I guess it all depends on how you feel about artificial sweetener. Other than that there's some extra sodium in there that you could probably do without.  I myself use artificial sweetener. Aspartame only because I can't stand the taste of sacharin or splenda. I drink two mugs of coffee a day sweetened with 2 packets of equal.  I allow myself 1 diet coke a week and 1 Monster lo-carb energy drink a week. Any other time I drink nothing but regular bottled water.  I say if you like bottled water, go for that and skip the flavored stuff. Otherwise the flavored stuff can help you get some fluids in ya.  As far as it being bad for your pouch or your intestines I highly doubt it since it's not carbonated.  I haven't heard of any issues but then again I am pre-op.

You might also check out the little individual packets of flavors you add to a 16.9 oz bottled water. Like the Crystal Light ones, but there are lots of others. I get the cheapo Wally World ones and really like the orange juice and Cran-apple ones.

I mostly use the Crystal Light flavored individual packets (White Tea with Blueberry is my favourite) but I also like the new-ist Dasani flavored calorie free waters.
