Regrets!

[kimbernada 190]

I can't imagine drinking 64 oz of anything in a day, so far...but maybe it will get better in time. I can't imagine getting 70 gram of Protein so far, either. Those are my dr's guidelines...and I just feel too much discomfort still to take in that much.

Apologies to the OP for a sidetrack to the topic, but I wanted to respond to this. ^

One way to get in the Protein is to find a Protein shake that you like. I've posted elsewhere about this, but I had to try a few brands to find what I liked. One thing I DIDN'T like was a Protein Shake made in a blender. It was way too frothy and full of air. Ick. I found that I like the Syntrax nectar chocolate Truffle, strawberry Mousse, and vanilla Bean flavors. I would make one of those shakes with light soy milk in a Blender Bottle - so it was basically flavored milk, not something thick, to drink. That's an easy 29 grams of protein. Another way I was able to get protein in is to make sugar free/fat free pudding and add two scoops of Protein powder (Syntrax Nectar). 1 cup would equal 31 grams of protein. And then finding a Protein Bar that you like also helps. I didn't try the yummy Quest bars until about month 7, but there's another 21 grams of protein. (Eat half now, half later if you aren't hungry.)

My morning protein shake that I have for Breakfast is 1 scoop Syntrax Nectar, 1 scoop Big Train Fit Frappe Mocha Protein Powder, 8 ounces of light soy milk for 40 grams of protein. I can "stomach" a protein shake made in a blender now, so I may toss in a frozen sliced banana or some frozen strawberries. If my lunch is a little protein light, I may have a Quest bar around 3 pm. I personally have a hard time EATING all of my protein in real food. I just can't eat that much food. I DO shoot for a minimum of 85 grams of protein.

As to the Water intake, I have a hard time getting in 64 ounces. I need to work on this myself. Thank goodness we can count the Fluid in the Protein Shakes, etc.
