I was sleeved June 24th. Until today, I went 16 days without losing an ounce. It is completely normal. My dear friend went 3 months before me and warned it would happen. Until about a week and a half ago, I had much water nausea. Couldn't even get 16 ounces in. I too can't do the flavored but one that was pretty good was skinny girl white cherry and NOT much of it in room temp water. Good luck!
