Default Crystal Lite/Propel Question!

so I bought cases of Crystal lite and propel from Costco. Waaaay cheaper. Only problem is that each case has 4 or more lemon or lime flavors. I know the rule is "no citrus" which makes me nervous. These are just flavored water and have the exact same ingredients that the berry or kiwi flavors have. Do Yall think this will be ok?

Thanks in advance, SO excited to be allowed something other than ice and propel I just dont wanna fudge it all up.

You should be just fine. I do not believe there is acid in the Crystal Light products. I drank Crystal Light full speed early on and it was in the clear liquids at the hospital.

WOW! I knew of no such Citrus Rule. I must admit those flavors no longer appeal to me post op. Same goes with minty gums. I can only tolerate bubble gum flavor gum, and fruity drinks like strawberry, or .....strawberry.
