Missy, try changing the temperature. For some people (me included) I can drin**** cold water, but if I let it get closer to room temperature I'm better. For others it's the opposite.

My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once. I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.

Here's my take on it...crystal light has artificial flavors which can, in some people, cause cravings. I do use it, but only after I already have had my 64oz of plain water -- and then it's a treat.

So, I'd say if you have some, that's fine...if you are ONLY drinking crystal light, I'd back off a bit.

I was told to drink plain water, but to try different temperatures since sometimes another temperature will allow you to drink it better. I know for me if it's too cold my tummy doesn't like it.

The other option, but only if I really couldn't get the water down was decaf, unsweeted (no sugar, splenda, equal, etc) tea.

But since I don't mind the water, I drink 64oz min of water, then some tea or crystal light. But I've been very blessed in that I haven't had any issues with anything since surgery...

i actually prefer cold water to crystal lite
crystal lite is just another way to get your fluids in
don't forget it does have calories
not very many but a few

i'd do half water and half crystal lite throughout the day

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and attention

Thanks everyone. There are a lot of interesting tips in here that I didn't know about. I think I'll try to do clear water for a while, if I can get it down and see how that goes. Gotta get this scale moving. Also good to know that revision patients might lose at a slower rate...thank you again!!
