Crystal light bad?

Absolutely correct Don! Thanks for noticing - I did a post about it too.  Now, ummmm, do these jeans make my butt look fat?   BwaHahahahaha!!!

Looks they are hanging loose enough that you can pinch a loaf in them and nobody would ever know except for the smell of that FART!!

Don't be too hard on yourself. Trying to be perfect is only a setup for failure. If you like Crystal Light.. I say go for it!

crystal light is prefect, if you dont feel like drinking water that day. but not more then your  water . .

If I remember correctly, the reason people were not drinking crystal light is that they did not care for the taste.  My nutritionist had told me that Crystal light is a fine drink for us post RNY.  I have found flavors I like and some that I don't care for.  Like Bama noted, I also make Ice Tea and add some lemon and Splenda, which I prefer over the Crystal Light teas.  

I think the secret is finding what 0 calorie or very low calorie fluids that you like so you can get your 2 plus liters of fluid in each day.

Crystal Light....good (in my best Tarzan impression)

Crystal Light often has Aspartame as a sweatner. There is a lot of debate about aspartame - most people without a financial insentive agree that it is or can be an appetite stimulant.   For me that is very very true.  So I have to avoid it. Do not take liquids after meals for 60 minutes or whatever your doctor says. Liquids should help you feel full and less hungry.  If while or shortly after drinking crystal light you feel more hungry then you should stop. Other than that I agree with the obove posters.

being the cheap ass that I am I drink the Walmart version of Crystal light same damn thing.  I drink ALLOT of the stuff.  So far so good

Liking to save money myself, I tried the Wally World brand and it made me gag. Had a terrible after-taste to me. Had to go back to the Crystal Light so I would at least drink throughout the day. Lemonade, orange and fruit punch are my favorites.

I used to be a heavy drinker of crystal light before surgery.  After surgery I find that crystal light was way too sweet for me and I had to stop drinking it.  It really made me nauseous.  I drink diet snapple now and that makes my stomach happy.
