Water... Plain, nasty, boring water

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.

  • 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.

I’m allergic to lemons and I don’t love limes. I do like cucumber water. Thanks!
