DianeJarrett 155 Posted August 6, 2017 I've been stuck for weeks. WEEKS! I got so tired of seeing the exact same weight, the exact same weight down to the ounce that I almost broke. Then, in a last ditch effort, I met with my nutritionist who advised me to lay off the artificial sweeteners and drink plain Water instead of Crystal Light and Propel. And, voila!!! I broke from the stall and lost 3 lbs in 2 days. Damn it!! 4 weeks. 4 long frustrating weeks of seeing the exact same weight to the ounce, and it was something so simple. I knew before my surgery that artificial sweeteners sometimes made me keep on weight, at my age, but I guess I thought, post surgery, it wouldn't be such an issue. Well, I was dead wrong. The only problem? I hate plain water. I HATE IT. Crystal Light made it tolerable. I'm hoping that once I get over the stall I can add some back into my routine, but for now... NOPE. Le sigh.

What about throwing some slices of lemon or lime into water? 1 DianeJarrett reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DianeJarrett 155 Posted August 6, 2017 I’m allergic to lemons and I don’t love limes. I do like cucumber Water. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joann454 1,329 Posted August 6, 2017 My niece has an infusion water bottle. Cucumber and fresh mint are her go to. Thanks for the tip though because I too drink a lot of crystal light. 1 DianeJarrett reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
