This maybe a stupid question but lately I am really loving the Crystal Light flavors. I hate to drink alot of Water.< /p>

Would drinking the Crystal Light count as your water?

According to my doc it is counted as your water. The broth that I found is College Inn and it was beef flavor and I loved it. One other thing I've been drinking vanilla whey Protein shakes and they are nasty!! I'm not going to waste it so I've been experimenting and found that if I take 6 to 8 oz of Powerade zero to my one scoop it tastes pretty good.

Yes, although many people like to tell you that you NEED to drink 6 - 8 glasses of Water a day that is not technically true. It is actually Fluid that you need. I hardly ever drink water except in summer when it is really hot. My drink of choice is tea, no sugar and with a dash of skim milk.

Thanks ladies, that is good to know. I also like iced tea with lemon that I brew myself, so that would count as Water too. Tamg, I will have to buy some College Inn broth, I have seen it at the store, thank you! I happen to like the Protein Shakes, I maybe the only one that like them.

I add cinamon to spruce it up a bit, ice & put it in the blender.

Well the shakes powder that I bought was from Walmart and it's nasty. Now the shakes from the docs office I liked but I went the cheaper route.

Short answer Yes, long answer kind of. Keep in mind the kidneys have to filter out everything you add to Water. I try to drink half plain water and half low cal. drinks.< /p>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
