Do you find it makes a difference in your weight loss if you drink plain Water vs using flavor packets (sugar-free, calorie-free, and caffeine-free)?

I have not noticed a difference, but drinking more Water is more benficial in the long run. If I crave something sweet, sometimes I mix water with a sugar-free hawaiaan punch packet or crystal light.

I was never a Water drinker so I always mix my water with something! I usually keep a pitcher of Crystal Light lemonade in the fridge and add a little peach tea or strawberry watermelon Mio to my glass before I pour the lemonade in. Try to mix it up so I am not drinking the same thing every day. I also add powder Fiber to my water. I do think that the more water you drink the less hungry you are or become.

​I drink about 12 cups of hot tea or iced tea a day. I brew my own iced tea with Decaf bags and my hot tea is either. I use sweetener, though. I over drink and pee all night.

I always used Splenda but now mostly use Truvia because it is suppose to be better for you.

I do about 1/2 Water and 1/2 sugar free Water options. Have not ever had a problem or a stall with either or. The largest stall comes from not getting enough fluids in during the day.

Both have been helpful.

I drink a lot of plain Water and usually one low calorie Gatorade. I find if I drink too much powder drinks it irritates my mouth.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
