A small suggestion regarding ~~Water~~

Like most after post-op, I was having difficulty getting my Water in. The taste of water didn't change for me, but I just could not manage getting more than a bottle of water in initially. I finally got a little better adding flavoring, but I really wanted pure water to ensure that my system was flushed and no UTI's would occur.

Last week I ran out of the bottled water that I had and decided to change it up. This change has made a huge...Huge....HUGE difference for me. I changed the brand I was using now I'm up to 3 bottled waters each day (up from 1 1/2 per day), with no problem drinking. I say this is a tremendous victory for me.

So my suggestion to you, if you are struggling and like me just didn't want the added flavors (Crystal Light, etc). Try a different brand and see if that helps. :):D

I find that my throat and mouth always has a funny taste. I constantly am brushing my teeth. I also try to find things that quench my thirst. Since we can only sip, it is hard to actually "quench" the thirst.

ketosis! aka "keto breath." Hopefully means you are seeing the scale move!
