Yeah, I saw the 170 (which is your goal weight I assume) and got mixed up. :) Sorry.

I have a post op friend who drinks nothing but propel. She can't stand the taste of water and won't drink it period - she's tried every kind of bottled, tap, bubbly water, unbubbly water and she can only handle propel. She's about 2 years out and doing fine - the water, or lack of it hasn't hurt her a *****eck with your doc if you're concerned but it should be ok.

I'd say it's definitely better than no water. If I remember from all of the info i've heard frrm Dr. Smith's office, they do allow Propel and also Crystal Light, but also want you to try to drink some water too. Can you gradually dilute it with a little water? It is true, things taste sweeter now - today even plain water tastes kind of sweet to me....strange.
