Small Victory over Fluids



Recommended Posts

Tonight I won a small victory. Over the past year, I have been slowly changing my habits. No white bread, more veggies, healthier choices, higher activity levels and lots of fluids. I probably drink around 4L of Fluid daily. I drink about 100 oz of Water, 3 20 oz glasses of kool aid with splenda, 16 oz of fruit juice and 2 cups of coffee (every once in a long while I will have 20 oz of tea or soda on top of that). I was always taught to drink plenty of water at dinner (this way you don't eat as much before you are full). I have been slowly making the changes necessary for post-op. This way it won't be as hard when the time for a forced change comes. However, my biggest problem has been not drinking before, during and after a meal. Got the exercise and much of the dietary stuff under control, and now I am being told less fluids around meal times. Tonight, I managed to eat dinner and wait an entire 10 minutes before drinking something. For me, this is huge. I was wondering how the rest of you managed to complete this task. This is my biggest struggle at the moment. I can drop the juices and sodas without too much problem. My overall fluid intake will probably be the same, just substituted with water or sugar free kool aid. Any thoughts you all could share would be wonderful.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
