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.

      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.
