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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
