Water... Plain, nasty, boring water



Recommended Posts

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.

What about throwing some slices of lemon or lime into water?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
