Did you drink your water today?!?!



Recommended Posts

Just a little reminder to drink your Water today! Us Barifolks dehydrate easily and in the winter we tend not to drink as much. Make sure you get your water today!

Thanks for the reminder. When I just don't feel like sipping anymore, I grab a sugar-free popsicle to get more liquid in.

Thank you for the reminder. I struggle on the weekends because i never stay at home. It is so much easier during the week when i have a schedule throughout the whole day. I need to get this weekend thing figured out. I drink but i do not think often enough. Its 639pm right now and i can honestly say.. I dont think i have had 20 ounces today... I got up, struggled with BM so that was my first concern. Then i made banana pancakes and ate since it was late by the time i resolved the BM issue.. Then my adult children decided they wanted to go to Animal Kingdom today. I made a 20 ounce bottle of Water, and maybe drank 3 ounces.. and i did have half a Decaf coffee, but my brain said you put too much light cream in this.. so i threw it out after i was done with half of the 16 ounce cup..It was too cold outside today so i did not want to drink cold water while outside.. We went to lunch inside the park and i did my 30 min wait before and after, and then i had a milk.. 8 ounces.. i am not working on a 20 ounce Protein Shake, but i just started.. oh and i had a sf popcicle.. so if i add it up... hahaha i might be at 28 including the Protein shake i am working on.. so i was close, but that means.. i have to finish this to get another 20 ounces in and still need to make dinner.. It is going to be a long night!

Went and made me my bari-cup up with one half Minute Maid 15 lemonade and one-half mandarin orange Nestle Splash flavored water which is no calorie, should cut it down to 7.5 calories per 8 oz, that's unbeatable on a galloping ๐ŸŽ. One of my weird relatives saying , never knew why she was obsessed with horses galloping, never saw her on horseback at all.

I think getting all my fluids in is my biggest battle and I agree weekends are harder because there's no routine! Oy. I think I made it to about 48 oz yesterday. I aim for at least 60 most days.

      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.
