WATER Challenge



Recommended Posts

My doctor said, "absolutely NEVER drink with meals." Since today's been one constant meal, how am I supposed to drink my Water? The water cooler is next to the evil bag of chocolates.

Paula, this is the first day since you started this challenge that I've done halfway decent on my waterload! Boy, those bad habits are easy to start and very hard to break! Now, if I can do this good on stopping carbs.

Lisa, Im gonna check at Walgreens for that little cooler. Dont worry about the chocolate's... my fetish lately has been a hershey bar w/ almonds. Ive had *2* today. duhhhh, no wonder Im gaining weight!

Becky, Betty and Greg, you are making us SICK!!!!!

The rest of us are here are gaining weight, fighting with chocolates, eating tons of carbs... and you three are leaving us to inhale your dust!!! This is supposed to be a hardship challenge, and you 3 are having too easy of a time! blahhh! (Im just jealous - hehehe)

Marie, Michelle, Lisa (and ANYONE else, just let me know)... I have an idea! Lets try to have no junk food tomorow. Just try it for 1 day and see if we can do it. Maybe it will be the day that gets us back on track. I cant do it without someone else (isnt that stupid?) - so even if you lie to me and tell me that you are gonna do it, thats fine cause I wont know any dfferent :)!

So for me, no hershey w/almonds or doritos tomorrow. Just protiens, salad and H2o!!!

Ok Paula..I just finsihed my gallon of Water for the day..

I have to say I went all day today with no junk food. First time in 3 weeks..I think it was from all thewater and all the peeing I was doing just did not have time ;)

I will do it again tomorrow with you..great idea! NO JUNK FOOD!

Rebecca, funny you should mention the Crystal Light irritating your throat..it had the same affect on me today but not until I was at the 2nd half of my gallon. I use 1 of those little plastic containers of crystal light which makes 2 quarts for the entire gallon so it is not so sweet..

Yeah, mine was diluted, too. I think I'll go back to herb tea.

I only had one cookie. Probably because it was the last one! DH is planning to make some. I want him to hide them. I am WEAK! Absolutely no junk tomorrow!

Paula, that was pretty funny because sometimes we read what we want to see, and I thought you were offering that we all ate nothing but junk food for an entire day tomorrow. I was all about that, instantly planning all the crap I'd buy at 7-11 in the morning. But then I read it a 2nd time, hahah, joke's on me. You're on, girlie. NO JUNK food for one whole day. None. Protein and veggies, not even a carb. I'll do Michelle's-double-water-pee thing to keep me busy. I think I can, I think I can, I think... I know I can, I KNOW I can.

Let me know if you can't find the little jug. It makes me feel very important, cuz I know I don't have to measure or get up off my fat butt to re-fill it. When it's empty, I'm done. But tomorrow I shall do two of them to keep me away from the junk!

It's funny, but I was so dedicated for the first few months. Now I really want my DH to make those Cookies. I hear them calling to me. I guess that's what happens when I start eating a bunch of carbs, or whatever else I want.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
