Question:
Has anyone dumped on Crystal Light?
Just curious if anyone out there has dumped on Crystal Light. I had quite a bit of the strawberry-tangerine flavor one night and then went to bed. Not too long after, I woke up sick as a dog!!!! I am POSITIVE that I dumped. But I can't be sure if I dumped on the Crystal Light, or if it was the soup I ate for dinner. (The soup did have peas and carrots in it -- but they were very, very soft and I chewed like crazy). Anyway, just wondering if it's possible to have dumped on the Crystal Light. As a precaution, I haven't tried it OR the soup again. LOL By the way, I'm 4 weeks out, Lap RNY. Thanks for your answers! Cheryl, Lap RNY 6/2/03 -- -38lbs — Cheryl M. (posted on June 26, 2003)

Hi! I would be surprised if you dumped on the crystal light but you never
know....I have to dilute the crystal light with water because the citric
acid in it does upset my tummy.

Hi! I dump on lettuce! LOL!! So, yes, you can dump on Crystal Light. I get
sick on it, similar to dumping, because of the type of sweetner that is in
it. Splenda has been the only sweetner that doesn't make me have dumping
symptoms. Hugs! Lap RNY 12/13/2001, down 220 lbs!

artifical sugar can casue extreme gas and cramps! specially if your body is
not use to it and the acid in it could be hard on a new post op.

Try Crystal Light in the bottles (already mixed). It's made with Splenda
and tastes much better than the powdered Crystal Light mixes.

Hi Cheryl,
I am 7 weeks post op, and drink CL all the time. The tangerine strawberry
is one of my favorite flavors but I have never experienced any problem from
drinking CL. Maybe you drank too much too fast, or maybe on that particular
day it just didn't agree with you. I'd give it a try again, just sip
slowly, and don't drink more than 8 ozs. within a 60 minute period.

Hello! I can't remember ever dumping on Crystal LIght, but I suppose it
is possible. I do know that I can't drink it or most other flavored water.
It just doesn't taste right and after a few sips it is just too sweet for
me. I can't even eat the sugar free frozen fruit pops because they are too
sweet. Everyone is different. I have tried all kinds of Crystal light
flavors and I get the same result. They end up being too sweet for me to
drink and it just gets thrown away -- either the powder or the bottles.
Just try different things. One day something will work for you and the
next it may not. Good luck to you on your journey!!! Daphine (open RNY

We have been told by our surgeon not to drink Crystal light because it has
sugar alcohol's in it. I'm not sure what your diet allows but I am
restricted to no sugar or sugar alcohols. That may be the reason you
dumped!
