WATER Challenge



Recommended Posts

I put Crytal Light in my little jug. I forgot that it irritates my throat. Weird, huh? I am getting in my Water, though, and it tastes good. ;)

It irritates my throat too, but I think it helps to go ahead and mix it with more Water to sort of cut the acidity.

Becky, everything was slow on this site lastnight. I kept getting booted off, then it took FOREVER to pull something up... I gave in and went to bed. Although I wouldve love to go into the chat room, just couldnt get there!

Okay Paula, here I am with half my jug emptied already. Remember yesterday's challenge.... huh... huh? NO JUNK food TODAY. I was making my lunch of leftover chicken Beans & cheese & was gonna toss a few tort chips in a baggie, but there was Paula's face in my kitchen, shaking her finger at me. So I left the chips behind and just brought the Protein and Water. Are we all still on?

Paula, where are you? It's 10:00 a.m. and I finished my daily Water. But my challenge was to do twice my water, so I'm halfway there. How you doing?

oh Lisa, you certainly can make me smile!

I am VERY upset right now over some news about my surgeon (Im fixing to post something about it on another thread) - and gave in to the hershey thing. I went to Target and couldnt resist picking one up (emotional eating) and I have the monthly thing that came lastnight, so there's another reason that my self control is shot.

And there YOU are, doing so well ;).

Company is at the door and I REALLY need to post this stuff about my surgeon so I can get some feedback.

So I drank my Water, ate my slow and decent-sized band lunch.. then shoved 10 pieces of chocolate into my pie hole. I told my attorney that his homework last night was to finish off all the dark chocolate in the office by today. He didn't listen. I can pass on the milk chocolate, but the dark chocolate has me in a trance.

For you chocohalics out there, as I've mentioned before, I use the Viactiv active nutrition for women by women, (sorry guys), soft calcium chews. I put three in the candy dish along with my s/f hard candy, then when I have that grazing going on I reach for one of the s/f candies or the Calcium chew. It provides the calcium and sure helps with that need for choc. Just an idea.

Here I thought if I jumped on the Water thread I would find inspiration to drink lots of Water outside of meals, and what do I find but my nemesis DARK CHOCOLATE! Away, demon, away!

My own personal water challenge is not to drink water with food. I don't have trouble getting at least 64 oz. down each day, but it's almost impossible for me to resist at least a sip while I'm eating. I know my weight loss would be better if I broke this nasty habit, but it's even trickier than giving up pastry. Anyone else have this problem?

Pat I use the Viactiv chewables too. I feel like I am getting a treat twice a day! They have several different flavors and I change to a different one each time so that I don't get tired of the same ones.

Zoe - I can't have anything to drink sitting near me while I eat. I have always drank with my meals, if it is there, I drink it without even thinking. Now I put my glass far away from me for an hour.

      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?

      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.
