Crystal Light is also sweetened with aspartame and that can give some people wicked headaches. I cannot drink the stuff.

I just got home from Publix with a new box of Crystal Light Natural Citrus Splash.

To my surprise it has 40 m-grams of CAFFEINE! That is per serving. One of those little tiny packs has 2 servings, which means every time you drink one it's 80 m-grams of caffeine, because nobody has just half of a pack.

I did a comparison and a regular 16 oz Coke only has 49 m-grams.

I was shocked, since all wls surgeons recommend Crystal Light. Post wls we are to avoid caffeine. Be careful of the new Crystal Light favors out there. This was one of the Focus Crystal Lights.

WARNING!!! CAFFEINE IS NOT EVIL!!!

Caffeine will not hurt you, UNLESS you have an unusually sensitive stomach. Caffeine is a VERY MILD diuretic, and for many people, and appetite suppresant.

I have been drinking an average of one GALLON of fully-caffeinated iced tea each and every day since my DS, over five and a half years ago---with my surgeon'sblessings.

Thanks for the info. I drink caffeine and haven't had problems with weight loss, dehydration etc. I didn't know it had some much. Going to get some today.

A few of their flavors have caffeine in them. Personally one package of Crystal Light lasts me through a few bottles of water. I never put one entire sleeve in my water as it is much too sweet for me that way.

i actually got the caffeinated version to keep at my desk as a wake-me-up if i get drowsy in the afternoon. i rarely drink crystal light anyway, because if i am thirsty i will drink water.

They DO give you a boost! I was up til 1:00 am doing laundry and dancing around my living room. I'm pre-op, so maybe that's a good thing. Maybe I can get some pre-op pounds off.
