I purchased some sugar free drops for my Water. I just needed a change, and it helped me increase my intake. I over estimated how sweet it would be so ended up getting a green lantern cup and cutting it with ice and plain water. I'm doing my thing and drinking, when I notice something in my water as I take a drink.

I of course swallow and think I feel something sliding down. Yes I am choking and coughing and basically being a baby. Then I have to acknowledge Protein is protein, though there is not an entry available on my food tracker for 1 knat. Go figure.

I ride horses so it is not uncommon to ride through a swarm of knats and ingest one or two. I wonder how many calories the little buggers have? I bet they are low carb

This reminds me of the time I was tracking all my food intake on one of my long ago diets and I asked my doctor whether snot had calories in it, because I had terrible post nasal drip!

I don't know about calories, but it certainly has weight. I am sure I have had at least an extra pound or do this winter due to mucous.

From the title, I thought for sure this one belonged in the naughty section. Just sayin'.

In spider season it's quite the experience to be in the lead, blast through a huge web right across the face and wonder...just wonder where the spider that made that web landed. I'd eat a knat any day over that lovely event!

That has bothered me all day, running crazy thinking how do you spell that, lol. I'm with you, played softball till I was 35. Either eating gnats, mosquitoes and dirt, which is why I was questioning acting like a baby. Spiders, Nope Nope Nope, I just can't even think about it!!! My son was convinced he killed a black widow in his room. I said fuzzy nope, shiny yes, so he had to bring it to me. Even dead I flinched when he pulled it out. LOL

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
