Water and Crystal Light, serve the same purpose?

I am just over 3 weeks post-op, LAP RNY, and am having trouble getting in all the water. I have discovered Crystal Light, and can tolerate that much better than plain water. QUESTION: Can drinking Crystal Light be my "water" intake? Are they comparable as far as getting in the required liquid/water intake? I know the CL is mostly water, with just a little added flavor, will this be acceptable in place of water? Or am I neglecting my "water" intake by drinking CL solely?
