Do you just add it to regular water? Is it sweetened with sucralose (Splenda) or something? I'm having a terrible time finding something that I like to drink. Before my surgery, I would drink ONLY Coke. NEVER anything else. I hate water and all of the fake sweetener drinks.

How does the taste compare to the likes of diet Snapple or diet Crystal Light?

The Mio's are so much better than the crystal light because unlike the crystal light, they are a liquid and therefore don't leave any nasty powder in your drink or around the rim bottle. Walmart also makes a cheaper version with some really good flavors as well!

Yes, you just add it to regular water and it doesn't need sweetner at all.  I have never had diet snapple and I don't like Crystal lite.  I do drink Sobe and Vitamin Water Zero and equate it to a similar taste to that. 

I started drinking those drinks when I gave up Diet Coke, so I understand your delimma.  It took some getting used to.

Have you tried the Walmart brand ones?  They are cheaper than the regular Mio brand and their fruit punch tastes just like the mio and is 1.00 cheaper.  I love the grape flavor!

I was thinking of buying these, but it sure seems like a lot of coloring? That cant be good? ive never had them personally so i dont know but by the commercial (LOL) it seems like a lot of artifical coloring.

I like the Hawaiian Punch water flavor packets.  I think you get 8 for 1.00. 
My favorite is the grape and the lemon berry.

 I used to be a huuuuuuge Crystal Light and SF Kool Aid  fan, but can't stand the sweetness now post-op. I use the Propel Zero packets - of course, I over-hydrate my packets and add about 32oz of water to a packet, so no yucky sugars are left on the bottom, and it's just enough flavor. 

At our last support group meeting, the coordinator brought something called 'Karma' water. It was the most complicated thing ever. You open the bottle, peel off the foil from the cap, close the bottle, push down on the cap to release the flavor crystals into the water, then shake. It's supposed to be a protein water, and if you like 'sweet', you may want to look into that. I wound up dumping 3/4 of the bottle into an extra container, then watering those down just to fini**** It was still very very sweet for my liking. Not sure the cost, or where to buy them.
